mark ellis Posted March 30, 2011 Share I been looking at getting one of those bikes with the big wheels for a while and finally decided to just do it. So I go see a few shops in JHB and discuss a few options with them. I am looking to spend a fair amount of south african ronds on this project, looking at top end stuff. I asked a few shops to send quotes to me, including a shop in Bloem that built up my S-works. 8pm on Monday night I get call from Hannes at Cyclotech Bloem with prices and he mails me quotes on options, I still have not had a quote or even a call back from a single shop I went to see? and the verbal prices given where all 2-3 grand more just on the frame? So once again my business goes to a Bloem cycle shop and a JHB shop looses out on a 40K build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Keep Pedaling Posted March 30, 2011 Share If they are too busy to sell you a bike then imagine the after sales service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark ellis Posted March 30, 2011 Share To set the record straight here Dangle did get a price to me, I chose to use a shop I had used before and that gave me a great price and excellent service, so If I offened anybody I appologise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
