Ahh. I get what you're saying. I used the one at the first step. Providing a dysfunctional calculator certainly opens the door to VN bearing at least a portion of the responsibility here. But still, the bike shop... c'mon. If you're buying a suit and they punch in your measurement info into some calculator and it suggests you take a jacket two sizes too big, doesn't anyone's common sense alarm go off? I mean, it's their job, right? And when you come back to pick up the suit and you're swimming in an over sized jacket, do you just accept it and wear it while posting on a forum? I dunno... something ain't right here.
