Nicely priced Giant road bike with carbon stays/fork & Ultegra hanging off it, finished in a lovely shade of “Buy me!” red.
Problem is it’s sitting in a bike shop where the guys dusting the shelves reckons that a medium frame is the way to go & doesn’t offer a leg over or even a lap of the milk bars for a teaser.
To top it off he says that he can throw in some pedals with it as well, no problem.
How many prospectives are out buying bikes like they’re picking up a newspaper?
(ps: I would have bought it right then, if I got a half way reasonable buying experience).
