Hi and welcome to the forums
I know, went to buy it in a well know new town in Hertfordshire, the advice I was given was awful by someone young enough to be my son lol!

That is slightly ironic, I once worked for Halfords (for a week). I was employed as a cycle mechanic (repairing bikes bought in by customers). I spent my entire (only) week building/making up new bikes. Don't think management liked me telling customers to go elsewhere, as shop didn't stock items.Probably better you doing it anyway, I put in for a job there as a bike mechanic once and the bloke that got the job Dosent have a bloody clue whenever I've gone in to order bits.
Ive found it very much like those bike shops you get when you take in a bike worth more than 200 quid and they ask what bits are on it ect, alot of shops round my way are like this and can only do odd jobs on old argos mountain bikes and even then not very good jobs.That is slightly ironic, I once worked for Halfords (for a week).

Don't shoot me... but I'm about to start work as one of those bike mechanics you talk about in Halfords!... Makes a change from all the white collar jobs I've had in the past and I can take my hobby in to the work place!
