Bike shop A - bike £999. Excellent customer service. Very knowledgable and friendly staff. Free bike fit (£69 if bought separately). 25% off clothing for 3 months and 10% off hardware for a year. 70 mile and a 2 hour round trip.
Bike shop B - same bike, same size, in stock £799. Issues with them in the past. Lied about what year a particular bike on sale was (said 2018, it was a 2016 model). Said impossible to fit mudguards to my bike (took it to shop A who did it in half an hour). Issues with their bike build on a previous bike bought through them which ended up costing me around £100. 15 mile and 40 minute round trip.
Shop a will not price match or reduce at all. Both authorised dealers, not sure why b has the sale and a doesn’t.
I’m pretty certain i’m going for A, but, £200
What would you do ?
