or are you warning us that we should be more attentive in general when dropping 8 *whole* bills on something?
i'm so perplexed.
wait... so you're saying the 800 is not enough to spend on something to expect it to be built well. hmmm. that's really interesting considering that almost every shop sells makes far more money selling bikes for less than that amount than they do selling the expensive stuff. or are you saying that i'm not entitled to good service because i didn't want to spend more?
a bike mechanic should assume the person buying the bike will be less aware than they are, not count on them to find the mistakes on a test ride. should i have test rode the finished bike before i left? absolutely, i realize i made a mistake, but the bottom line is that it's their responbility to check that.
i just really don't understand how the amount i paid is a factor at all.
