So I ordered a really cheap colnago world cup CX bike. Slightly misunderstood the description as it was a shop build and was flat bar not drop but that was my fault. What wasn’t my fault was the things not as per the description:
Groupset (105 in ad, got a mix of campag, 105 and an FC-R565 crankset), saddle (unbranded crap rather than selle italia), seatpost (10 quid crap, should have been deda), tyres (schwalbe not kenda but whatever) and the wheels are clearly factory seconds. The frame is smaller than they said but still fits however it adds to the pile of wrongness.
Bloke in shop says it’s my fault for not understanding why it was cheap. My response is it’s a shop clearance due to going online only so I assumed that was the price and when you publish a spec you need to deliver that spec. I was going to try to do a deal where they sorted me out the crankset for free and did me a cheap deal on drop bars and 105 shifters but now when I walk past the bike in my hallway it just pisses me off.
The bloke will do a refund but am I being just a bit mental by dropping the bike off rather than keeping it and getting it as I like it. I won’t get another chance for a Colnago CX bike for under 1000 quid (probably) but I mostly want rid now.
