Paul,
I offered the to all four shops i visited. Steve at Mello just had baby, Tracy at Bike Loft is having a medical procedure so she and Lance won't be able to come, SB has ghosted me and Jeremy claim "we're all busy" so I took that as a no (with prejudice).
So your assessment is correct, no comps needed.
BTW, good work with Berts!

Bert’s gave us gift cards for last year’s spring fling. I’m guessing that based on the reception you got Phil, that comps are out of the question? Geez, disappointing!

| From: pdilmore@PROTECTED All, I visited Mello Vello, The Bike Loft, Resource Cycling and Syracuse Bicycle. So far only Steve at Mello Vello came up with a gift certificate for us. I’ve visited Syracuse Bicycle twice and while both times they said they would support us I came away empty handed. I didn’t get a very warm reception from Jeremy at Resource Cycling despite the fact I bought 3 bikes from them over the last decade. As far as The Bike Loft, I did speak to Tracy who wanted to check with Lance but she also mentioned she was scheduled for a medical procedure so perhaps it just fell through the cracks. I’ll make one more visit The Bike Loft and Syracuse Bicycle this weekend. I don’t believe Resource Cycling is worth my time or my gas. Curious to here how anyone else made out at other shops. Thanks, Phil Dilmore | |
