Went down to another LBS today looknig for bikes. Totally clueless.
3 Chavs.
Me: Hello. I'm looking to buy a beginner's Hardtail Chav 1: Beginner's wha..? Sorry? Me: Er...a mountian bike.
Chav 1 calls to Chav 2
Chav 2: Yes mate Me: I'm looking to buy an entry level Hardtail for around 300-350. Chav 2: Hard-what? Me: Hard. Tail.
Chav 2 looks confused.
Me: Er...I mean a ... Chav 2: Mountain Bike! Me: Right... Chav 2: How much you wanna spend? Me: £300-350 Chav 2: Top of the range then...
Prompty left the shop. There were a couple of decent looking bikes, but I didn't want to hang around too long and get the answer to a question like "What's the rear derailleur". They'd probably look at me funny.
Even the guy in Halfords knew what a Hardtail was!
