Cant return the bike to Decathlon

[Joffey]

Sell it mate, you should get pretty near to what you paid for it.

I'll start the bidding... £100

Its like returning a pair of shoes you don't want/dislike, if you have worn them to the Saturday night disco they won't accept them after.

Used to be a classic move in certain social circles

Buy dress Saturday afternoon, wear Saturday night, reattach labels and return on Monday because it wasn't quite right and get a refund.
When my sister in law was teaching in Liverpool most of her 6th formers used this method of "hire"

You can return it if you change your mind provided it has not be used, the only time you can return it when it has been used is when it is faulty.

Or missold.

I dont get the crap reason that if its been used they cant take it back. Who the hell would buy a product and then not use it? In many cases its only after using the product you may find an issue that would require you to send it back.

I tried a suit on in C&A once. There was a best man's speech in one of the pockets

If the only problem with it is that you've changed your mind or you don't really think road cycling is for you then that's not something you should expect a retailer to take the hit for. If there's something wrong with it, i.e. it's faulty or not fit for purpose then you're covered.

Triban 5, gotta love it. Mines recently out of storage after using the B'Twin Sport over the winter. Keep on with it, you'll probably get used to it. Feels weird for me going back to the MTB.

You just reminded me, many years back I bought a pair of jeans from a charity shop for 50 pence

There was a teenth of squidgy in one of the pockets. Naturally I disposed of it by careful incineration :-D

It's difficult for clothes shops to be more strict about this - if they try, their customers will return clothes with a deliberately ripped seam or missing button and claim the item was faulty.
