Let me be clear: I did not buy the bike from the shop, the guy that sold me the bike met me there so I could have the shop give the bike a look over. I rode it around the parking lot, the people at the bike shop verified that they sold it new to this guy in December and that it was in great shape. I provided them with some refreshments for advising me. So I do not really have an issue with the bike shop. I should have done more research.
