last word.

Witch-finder?

oh blimey TYPO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm trying to get out but this is just too griping1

oh, no its not. i'm really off now.

And now you're being thrown on the fire. How apt.

wow!
i mean who ARE you?

this was directed to the which-finder general.

wow!
i mean who ARE you?

I'm at work friend why do you expect anything less than anger. I wasn't calling you a motherfucker. I was calling you a tool. I too am going for a ride home. I am sure I can be a decent human being afterwards.

oh well, i suppose a tool is useful.
Terribly sorry i thought you were being rude.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Well not little is it you tool.

"mother fucker"
"tool"

I'm going for a nice bike ride in the sun.

erm, i think this thread started as a bit of a bitch fest against TFG.

but anyway lets see, is this the 3rd time i've tried to put a close to my (slightly witty yet dull) original post?

i'll wait a few more days until some one says "hey, i've been there no problems" again.

or even better quotes my original post to have a go about it? (its sooo last week)

thats why i'm raving about condor (rolls eyes)
its quite a bitchy little forum this, isn't it?
but whateveh, yes i work for evans marketing department and drive for addison lee and ride a brompton.
blah.

One does wonder, with the only posts from this account slagging off Tokyo Fixed, Monkeyspaw are you even genuine?

what?
oh get a life.
my first post was just agreeing with some other chap who said he had bad service. so that makes your point totally moot anyway.

as for being genuine - yes, i am a real monkeys paw severed just before the wrist. thats why i type so slowly. you see i have to bounce on by bloody stump and land on the appropriate key then roll off the keyboard and go again.

does that answer your question?

did you let them know how disgusted you were that they weren't offering any 700c or did you mutter quietly under your breath and keep calm and carry on ?

um, your point is?

since they didnt have any 700cc in stock - i said ok thanks anyway for looking and got some from CC on the way home.

is that ok with you?

Condor doesn't offer what I want (beyond the basic supplies that I could buy anywhere); for example, there is absolutely no overlap between the small portion of Rapha's stock that I might be interested in and that available in Condor. I also do not currently ride anything geared or anything more modern than 1981, so it doesn't really suit me. Never said it doesn't work for other people. Sounds like Bodieanddoyle has a permanent party going on in there.

My geared bikes a 1980 holdsworth with neuvo record.
Condors own brand long drop brakes are pretty good.

most of the time it's the idiotic customer who's not done any research, who's looking for the full njs build for $23.50, and hasn't got a clue what they are talking about who wind up the shopkeeper or the shop keepers assistant thus resulting in the slightly surly attitude mentioned above

try not to go in with a superior attitude and you might get some better service from said shopkeeper ... i usually find

Wowzah!
Just lookin through the forum and seemed to have stirred up a few emotions on this thread!

1x what a cunt
1x harden the fuck up
1x idiotic customer that didn't do research!

Jesus, lame or what.

I got crappy service from the bloke upstairs.
Some might find that the "face of the shop"?
I've got some bits in the past from downstairs and it's been ok. (apart from when they didn't have any 700cc inner tubes in stock!!!)

It's no biggie. IMHO I thought service was shitty.
As I gather from some of the more evangelical replies to my (if I say so myself witty but dull) original post. Its just too much to bare for some of you folks TOTM?

Diddums

It's all about the tribes folks. Condor vs tfg. Both cater to their own market. So labling one "all the gear but no idea" over the other is a bit hypocritical.
Mamil vs hipster??

But good service - I know where ill go...

In my honest opinion...

I couldn't believe it when I asked about a new filter for my Dyson in there and the man - more of a boy really - behind the counter just looked at me like I was nothing. Nothing.

I won't be going back in a hurry I can tell you that.

That's cos they only stock Miele.

I work on wardour street. Really happy when a neat new bike shop opened. You know not a cs or evans!
Closer then fitzrovia and fixed bling to boot!!!

Just a bit blah on the service.
But that's cool, apparently I need to "harden the fuck up" ??

Wooo!

Don't mind a bit of elitism in a cool bike shop. (I love mosquito).
But this was just a bit surly.
Ah, surly... Maybe he was being ironic!!!???

Then again like I could give a fuck, I've already spent tooo much time explaining a fairly dull post in the first place.

Just adding my little bit to a thread

Yawn,
Just commenting on what someone said about shitty attitude from tfg.

10 year old virgin was just a funny insult about the kid with tude behind the counter.

Hipster attitude I would say tfg have the attitude in this case. I asked about the swvre and the shoes as on both those websites they have tfg down as stockists.

How rude of me to ask!

Judging him on his age.
Could give a fuck how old he is. Just look at the customer when youre being asked a question.

Wah wah Wah
Sorry for the newbie on this forum having an opinion.
Get over it man!
Blah!

The other week I went in and asked the 10 year old virgin upstairs...

Hi do you have swrve shorts?

(Eventually)

no.

How about vittoria 1976 shoes?

no.

All without looking up from texting on his mobile.
Little twat, I should have walked out with a bike - he wouldnt have noticed.

Condor or moquito for me.
