Salesman's Tactic: "Steel Frames Wear Out"
#1: 1972: Bike Boom. Sell bicycle to customer.
#2: 1979: Tell customer not to polish frame for fear of "wearing" the metal down.
#3: 2006:
Situation "A" - Customer drags in greasy, grimy Bike Boom relic into shop. Salesman states it as being a hunk of junk. Suggest new Trek, Specialized or Cannondale.
Situation "B" - Customer rolls in mint Bike Boom machine into shop. Salesman states that the frame is unsafe due to the extensive Meguiars Polish and Wax used. Suggest new Trek, Specialized or Cannondale.
