I actually went to an LBS today for a service. Cant fault his work but he started with the
Halfords hate, this is the kind of small time mentality which pisses me off with these guys they absolutely have to slag everyone else off to try and drum up some more business.
This guys angle was hating on boardman, they are not a great bike, chris boardman didnt have any say in the design hes just a face, they are made in taiwan probably by giant etc etc. This coming from the same guy who nearly jizzed himself when he saw some carbon forks "Oh wow are these carbon forks, yeah they're carbon forks". To be fair this was a junk yard of a shop im sure there are better LBS out there, hopefully one day i come across one.
