Bike Stores

We are buying a bike for Michele. A very specific bike that isn't routinely carried in stores.

In tracking down this bike, I must have called a dozen stores. They all seem the same, busy and un-organized. No one seems too focused on actually selling bikes.

I have left my number with several stores for call backs and have not recieved a single one. What's wrong with these people?

When I finally place an order, I make the specifc request that they call me when bike is ordered from Bianchi and they have confirmation that it is on it's way. I called back today and they could give me no information other than saying, "I asked the manager and she nodded her head. I think that means your bike is on it's way."

You think? Nodded her head? What is this, charades?

I want some damn answers folks!

I wish I could say the same thing but my Dual 2Ghz G5 Mac has been in limbo with issues affecting delivery for many people. All the order says is "Open". Some people got theirs shipped within the last couple of days even though they got an email stating it would be 2-3 weeks longer.

Ahhhhhh, the classic bianchi celeste green (formaly reserved for the high end racing machines). One day I will own one just to hang it on the wall as art.
