more to the point, why are tesco buying 6 bikes?

surely they should be ordering the entire production output then forgetting to mention they expect a 50% discount, custom colours and will reject any of them that the tyre logos don't line up on?

Back in the late eighties Muddy Fox were one of the makes to have, quite a few of my mates had them, then they went bust, and now it just a crap name.
The same goes for Saracen, Diamond Back, any others?

I think Tesco complaining about being stiffed by a asupplier is a nice turn up for the books given what I understand about their normal approach.

"Mr Ashley cost Sports Direct up to £200,000 when he resorted to using a game of spoof to settle a disputed bill with his banking adviser"

well, it's an approach.
