Jacob, I must offer my sincere apologies to you and the entire mountain biking population for accepting sub standard quality.
I’ll ignore the fact that I’ve been mountain biking for 17 years now. That I spent five years working in an assortment of bike shops. That you’ve never met me and don’t know me from Adam…much less know how many bikes I have or what my cycling history is.
I’ve disagreed with folk on here before, but that’s the first time I’ve had someone make a comment that personal.
Finally I suggest you go back and read what I wrote. If you don’t like the finish on the bike then fine. The point is that you declined the original ‘deal’ and then the amended ‘deal’ and left. Now for some reason you think you can go swanning back into the shop and pick up where you left off. I suggest you examine your attitude before you do so.
Anyway, I’m off rock climbing now. Enjoy your day examining paintwork.
