2nd opinion?
People are going to take the word of someone who has taken a year to figure out the difference between a conversion and a track bike, having spend £1700 on a bike with what looks like no prior research or attempt to get any kind of better deal, against that of folks who make a living out of selling nice, but admittedly expensive bikes?
In the same position I would never have paid 1700 for that bike, I don't think it is worth it personally, but if you've got the excess cash and you have a boner for it, knock yourself out. I don't think its blb's job to give him sound financial advice or take him under their wing as when it comes down to it, it's his cash and his job to manage it and make his own decisions, however I don't think they're going to deliberately lie or extort cash from him as he could have easily walked back into the shop 2 days later and screamed the roof down.
If you're not going to take responsibility for the way you spend your own money then don't fucking cry about it a year after the fact and start slandering folk when you finally make the effort to figure out what the fuck it is you've actually gone and bought.
My tiny mind is well and truly frazzled by this saga.
