I've been looking at the Stump Jumper for a while now and saw a 2006 S-Works carbon frame in a local bike shop so I decided to buy it. The thing had been reduced from £1800 to £1200 because it was last year's model. My bike was already in the shop getting the new XTR ST-M975 break/shifter put on.
The shop said the bike would be ready on Friday, I said that I would pick it up on Saturday. I was actually in the shop on Friday with Geordie Git, he wanted some panniers so that he could ride his bike to work putting his precious laptop in the pannier rather than in a rucksack on his back, the bike was ready and the guy wheeled it out. Nice, but I noticed that the dust caps where missing from the tiers, also the Garmin cadence thing has not on the new bike and the magnet from the rear wheel was missing.
Went back after work to pick up the bike, dust caps and magnet were still missing, which I pointed out. The guy was sure they weren't on to start with but that is bollocks, why would I take the dust caps on the tiers? Anyway, he put new ones on and gave me a magnet off the shelf.
The next problem I had was that the bike would not fit on the car rack, it was raining and I couldn't be arsed with adjusting the rack so I just put it in the car, together with the old frame.
