funny bidniss
funny--i was trying to find a fuji track 2006 and was having a hell of a time. called around, no one had it, and they all seemed sort of coy about it, telling me nothing else but that they didn't have any (they all seemed sort of tight lipped), and then i ordered one and was told two weeks probably because there was an issue with a part. finally after three weeks i started getting impatient and said i wanted to talk with a rep, and he explained that they wouldn't be shipping them out until they got the new cogs and lockrings. i said i would have the LBS throw one on, and they said there were liability issues just in case the LBS didn't install it right. i told him i knew the guys at the shop, and said they were fine mechanics and they had some top quality cogs in stock that they'd put on (they had shimanos and surlys). finally after pleading with them and telling them that the weather in portland was outstanding and i was sick of missing out on it because of this issue, they agreed to ship it and have the LBS install the cog and lockring. it was a big hassle, and it still hasn't arrived yet.
i'm dying to get it and set it up. i rode a 58 at the shop, but decided the 61 was best and ordered it. should be here soon, with a new shimano cog and lockring. it was a nice bike to ride, and without a doubt what i want in my price range. just itching to see the 61 arrive.
