I made a mistake!

If he insists on a certain size of bike, that's what the shop sells him.

No less unethical.

No less unethical.

But good business, because if the shop refuses the sale he'll just go somewhere else and buy it.

Under consumer law you now have the right to take anything back if it is broken or faulty - in this case he could argue it is 'faulty' because it is the wrong size for him - aslong as he hasn't had it for more than about 30 days

What law is that, exactly?

I would say that for a bike as non-budget as a Supersix I would expect any shop selling it to at least attempt to have a dialogue pre-sale with the customer to determine and advise on bike sizing, of only to say "we did check that". But I would be interested if sale of goods act applies here as the bike isn't defective or unfit for purpose.

Still waiting for the OP to tell us how tall he is.....

 

[mickle]

Innit.

some good advice above. id add, tweak seat, stem, brifters, over a week or two, bit here bit there, bit back, etc. shorter stem and moving the seat back n forth are the crucial little shifts.
