I popped in off the street while on holiday nearby this summer. Got chatting to the guy, making vague “thinking of a road bike to take proper guards”, he asked if I’d ever ridden a Ti bike, and when I said I hadn’t he just grabbed one in my size, popped some pedals on it, and sent me out for a spin round the town – on my own, took no ID or credit card for security, just let me ride off on an Ultegra equipped Lynsky.
So when I win the lottery, I think I may make the trek over there to actually buy something!
(Actually, found a pair of old MW80s in their sale corner with £50 off while I was there, so they did get some of my money after all!)
