I think it was more of a poor way to start a conversation, as in, I know old stuff too but I brought my new bike and can't show you moment. Or, in case you didn't know I am trying to help you before someone from CR walks by and laughs at you! Or it could be he wanted to show you he knows more that you. In the end I think he just wanted to share that he knew something about your bike but it came out fudged up. Your response was on point.
So let's see a pic so we can look for other stuff on it that may not be right. HAHAHA!
