Bike was originally 2800 but cos 2016 model is out was knocked down to 2380.
I asked what they could offer me. My own fault probably for not being cheeky. Shouldnt be surprised, I needed a BB urgently and they were the only local place that had one. Marked up at £28-I got it for 27!
I think you did pretty well to be fair! Had you paid full price for the bike having been a customer for 10 years, then only got £35’s worth thrown in on top I’d say maybe they don’t value you as much as they should.
Given you got 15% off the RRP already, something has to give I’m afraid, and that something is the amount of freebies you had thrown in.
Like everything, your LBS is a business. If they lose money, they go out of business and it’s only when this happens that the (once a year for an emergency inner tube) customers come out of the woodwork saying “it’s a shame they went out of business, good bunch of guys that knew their stuff”…
My opinions may or may not reflect those of other LBS owners, but genuinely, you’ve had 15% off the bike already, don’t be greedy!
