(The title of 'assertiveness training' maybe gives a flavour of 'hard bargaining' - I've always found bike shops to be entirely reasonable and happy with straightforward communication along the lines of "I'm very interested in this machine, but I've never seen one, and I'll need to be certain that it fits me before I buy it"...."Fine, let's get one in so you can see it and we can get it to suit you - and if it doesn't, it's a good bike and someone else will want it while we find the one that's best for you")
Sounds to me like that's the spirit of the present dealing??
I hope it turns out to be perfect for you.
Thank you! I chose the thread title because I'm not assertive by nature. I compromise well (too well at times) but suck at negotiation. I guess that concern should be posted over at neurosisconfession.com...
