The first time, we started with shift and brake cables that moved straight to a ridiculous attempt to up-sell me a multi-thousand dollar tacx indoor simulator thing.

He told me that he can get them for me 10% above wholesale since I just bought a Fondriest from them.<BR/><BR/>As he was bringing up the cransket page on his computer, I saw him change the wholesale price from $199 to $399, like I would not notice!

One guy was standing around(Asian dude racer from Harvard, Cho? Wang? Wo?), and proceeded to tell me about some awesome group ride every week. Then he told me I couldn't show up because he was a cat 2 and I wouldn't be able to keep up. Has to be the biggest dick move ever.zackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270062773459704299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026613116977314546.post-39251712418082966052009-01-05T12:58:00.000-05:002009-01-05T12:58:00.000-05:00Quad Cycles in Arlington stocks Tufo Tubular tape....Quad Cycles in Arlington stocks Tufo Tubular tape.

Usually on-line it can be found for ~5 dollars a strip. I went to the checkout and the total came to 36 dollars for two. When I said it can be found for a third of the price online at most stores, the salesperson simply told me that since they are the only people who stock it, they can charge what they wantzackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270062773459704299noreply@blogger.com
