rattlesnake Posted October 24, 2012 Author Posted October 24, 2012 So how many K's do you reckon its done then? And be honest..! Well he just did his first 100km ride at crater. So take on average 50-60kms per week for one year. 3000Kms MAX?
rouxtjie Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Mentioned this in another thread, but maybe this one will be better.. Im searching for a Spez saddle, and it goes without saying that the concept store doesnt have stock of what I want.. Anyone know of a shop in JHB with Spez saddles?Go to Dangle's shop V12man and Andrew Steer 2
StumpJumPer Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 I'm getting popcorn for the rest of this fred!!!! Gotta love it when the owner does not really know what happened.....
jules1976 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Maybe he was trying to save you from making a frivolous and unnecessary purchase (tongue in cheek). A prize example of some salesman's condescending attitude and the overestimation of his expertise. I personally would've kicked him squarely in the nuts just to show that i have too much of a right foot for his nuts. i would have dropped kicked him as well ..... condescending twat !
RaeTrewBrowne Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 It seems these guys have taken it on themselves to determine the demographic that rides Specialized.... Yeah seems like they take their slogan 'IAmSpecialized' very VERY seriously!! haha!! jokes aside, change takes time. Aren't the Concept Stores privately owned anyway? like a normal LBS? So it is the owners we should be flaming not the company? If you wanna buy Specialized get it from Olympic Cycles in Cape Town, epic bikes and epic service (pun intended)!!
Stretch Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Well he just did his first 100km ride at crater. So take on average 50-60kms per week for one year. 3000Kms MAX? well whole drivetrain would beyone just changing the chain after that...but not necessarily need to be replaced. My last bike i decided to ride the drivetrain through without replacing the chain or chainrings - must have done about 6k plus on that
Skinnyone Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 @Rattlesnake, seems you witness a lot and have lot of witnesses, so lets agree to disagree...
DieAandwoord Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 WOW!! Mense.....this is easy....Find a shop with staff that have a passion for the cycling, NOT run by....money grabbing, greedy, NON CYCLISTS!I know all the staff that left the shop, and its not because of the work.....mmm. They were trained to ask what type of riding the client does to chose the correct type of bike (By Specialized) and im glad because chris sold me my bike and i LOVE IT! "You cant be a 60 year old weekend worrier and expect to feel comfortable for 8days of Epic on a Sworks Stumpjumper Hardtail, your not 30years old anymore, so your body cannot take as much of a beating" Chris's sales line....AND IT WORKS!! BECOZ ITS TRUE! Asking for a cycling CV....that is the words of a chop! Someone who is trying to fill big boots with little feet...ie...ricky. Sorry but i sold my epic because of all the specialized *** in this country.

ThePubSA Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Next plan is to give this vagrant,we always give food to...... (300 bucks and a JB's corner burger for doing it,he's knows fully what he's doing he's not doff) and drop him off outside the melrose concept store in my mates rangerover... he gets out takes the fsr off the back and asks them for a service setup and shoe fitting Thabo might funk .. just abit worse.. then ricky's breath .. thats how karma = out arrogance.. even if its thought out.... dam.. just gave away the plan EDIT.. this is not vagrant abuse , it was 1/2 his idea .. Edited January 15, 2014 by 2Nutz V12man and Andrew Steer 2

Ricky told me the shoes I wanted to buy were the wrong ones for me... wasn't even interested in letting me try them on.... at over 3k for the pair... That place has the WORST service ever... and despite them being the closest bike shop to me during the day, I don't go there anymore.... ever. ThePubSA 1
