  1. I am not a happy bunny.

    I have still not got the replacement frame and forks from Bianchi after
    Luigi failed in the headtube.

    Phonecalls and email to the shop concerned are getting a bit like "Still
    waiting. No, don't know when it'll be here."

    I am not a happy bunny.

    BAH!

    So I have just emailed Bianchi direct.

    Cheers, helen s

  2. Sorry to hear your news. As the retailer the LBS in question is legally
    responsible. Write to them under the heading

    Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 (as amended).

    Refer to your numerous phone calls and emails and their failure to respond.
    Then give them seven days within which to resolve the matter. It is
    essential that this be in letter form (obviously keep a copy). It usually
    works.

    Hope this is of some help to you,

    John

    I've actaully just had a response from Bianchi, as I emailed Bianchi direct.
    Apparently one will be with me by the end of next week. We shall see. If it
    is: great. If not, I shall be taking matters further.

    Cheers, helen s

    These Italians, eh? All flash and no staying power. You should have
    gone to that nice Mr Roberts...

    IIRC, by my bikes standards that machine is not that old is it ? Is it
    handmade ? Pretty shoddy nontheless. Thanks for the heads up.

    Best of luck I never did get a replacement when my bianchi cracked.
    LBS, which was in Norfolk, promised but never delivered and Bianchi
    never replied to e-mails or letters. I suspect it was a grey import
    and after 3 years the Sale of goods act didn't help. Wonder if it is
    the same shop?

    Different shop- mine involved grounded over weight non terrestrial bi
    pedal animals! So hopefully you will get a better result. Tthe
    Bianchi was a great bike butafter this I moved on to Giants (the bike
    sort that is). It would be interesting to know if you get a response
    from the Bianchi importers though. I probably deserved this though as
    I wear bibshorts!
