And you went back and told a member of staff so that they could rectify the potentially dangerous mistake?

The fork is on the right way, its the stem and frame that's on the wrong way round..

Try a shorter exposure, letting the autofocus do its job.. and maybe some flash would help as it's indoors.

Front brake cable appears to be coming from the left.
Which way are the levers facing ? ๐Ÿ˜€

I like the idea that someone has put that together like that and not thought something doesn't look right, but they then went and put it next to an identical bike with the forks the right way round and still didn't realise that something was wrong.

What NVQ did the shop worker need to get this retail job.

One of hundreds of jobs that have been created by the new shopping center.

i was trying to do it surreptitiously as stores like this don't allow photography usually and my spy skills aren't up to scratch

to be fair, the wheel is in the right way round if compared to the rest of the bike minus the fork
