Foffa Bikes

Had one the vintage foffas come into the workshop I work in the other day and was surprised that they guy paid out £350ish for it. He brought it in pretty soon after he bought it and the outer cables were cut to illogical lengths, wheels were out of true, etc, things that would have been picked up during a PDI in a good bike shop. No matter how many people are willing to pay out for bikes like this, everything going to a customer should have been put together with care and a good level of mechanical knowledge.

Dani, I'm glad you're offering such great customer service if there's a cock-up at your end but if you get it all right the first time you won't end up losing time and money! Better quality parts will make your life a lot easier too, haha.

The 'cock-up' has been dealt with, and fired, it's in this thread somewhere. You're totally right about the fact that these should be put together properly, it's dangerous otherwise. Thanks to this forum Dani was shown how bad the mechanic was, on many levels, and has done something about it. I doubt many companies would fire an employee because they were slated on a forum.
