At the moment of pulling off my bicycle handlebars broke, and there was nothing for me to do but end up in a heap on the tarmac. "The handle-bars broke" - what was it - instantaneous metal fatigue? Or was the bike poorly maintained? It was a serious flaw in the handlebar design. LOL! Throw the bloody bike away and use the bus next time. |

So did they settle out of court with you? Yes. An apology, immediate replacement of stronger and better quality handlebars, and a free full service of my bike was the settlement. Yes, we all believe you, don't we? Indeed. SJS `saved my life' when I was three days into a LEJoG and the grease in my hub gears decided that it'd had enough after the hills in Devon and Cornwall. It wasn't even a hub which I had bought off them, either. Absolutely brilliant levels of service and very high levels of expertise from _all_ the staff. They wouldn't take any money for the labour, but I insisted on paying for the new grease! To my eternal shame, I didn't sent them a postcard from JoG :-(. -- Mark |
