  1. Climb on bikes hereford, really is a pile of pants.

    I travelled to the shop, and was must upset that my visit was ruined
    by the attitude of the place.

    I'm not taking part in the UCI pro tour, but I do race at cat 1.

    This place stinks - just like the coconut headed bloke that apparently
    runs the place.

    Avoid this shop - they are rubbish.

  2. Loose the attitude yourself IMO.

    Please take your vendetta elsewhere Toad Fish, Bill Edwards, Lou
    Carpenter, simongiles, ekke or whatever other names you want to hide
    behind. Your childish game is not fooling anyone here.

    Can you complain about anything specifically?

    Thanks for that link Mark. Just picked up two pairs of Pearl Izumi
    winter gloves for £9.99 (down from £37.99) from them. Top gloves if
    others are interested but only a few pairs left.

    Oh and thanks to Toad Fish - I would never have bought anything from
    them if you hadn't alerted me to them, what with them being in
    Herefordshire and me being in East Anglia.

    Thanks for the heads up, I have been wanting some lobster gloves for
    ages but could never justify £38 for some. Even considered getting
    myself some when in the USA but I don't need to now. Perhaps this
    spammer is actually trying to draw our attention to Climb on Bikes to
    boost sales. Instead of a blatant plug, which we wouldn't approve of on
    here, he simply criticises.

    Looking at the photos of the shop on the web site it looks like a place
    well worth a visit if you are passing. Large range of good bikes and a
    really good selection of road bikes and stuff from Specialized and Trek
    up to Principia and Litespeed. Reminds me more of one of the big US bike
    stores like Supergo rather than the usual pokey British LBS.

    Thanks again Toad Fish.

    PI Lobsters are really great gloves for winter. I've been using them
    for many years and if there is a criticism its that they are too warm
    for most British cold winter days.

    I never thought of that. If that's the case, hats off to him for
    imagination, and he can stop now.

    Surely LSMike was colloquially instructing the OP to "let loose" their
    attitude. Swing free... swing free.

    Are you allowed 10% and 3 points on that? If so he's off the scale.

    Great shop well organized for the on line shopper. Just got a pair of
    lobster gloves, we should negotiate another discount for all the
    business Toad Fish has put their way today.

    But then it would be 'loosen', wouldn't it? Just the thing for an
    uptight attitude.
