I stupidly was looking for a rear rack for some
old clunky bike and they tried to take the **** out of me probably
because those thousand pound bikes don't use rear racks...

Were you your normal self by any chance?

I have a Dahon 20 inch 7 speed

Nice.

a Raleigh
oakwood....20 inch Raleigh anniversary model

So is that one thing or two?

quite a few about:

had loads of bikes over they years and it is how I
keep fit

Not been cycling for a while because of the Mrs arthritis and the dog
walking and do miss it. I did go out a while back on a Pashley Pronto
(same as the later Mailstar Postman's bike, in England anyway) I'd
rebuilt and that was interesting.

and I work on them all myself so I know a thing or two about
them

Other than when you should or shouldn't 'let off steam' at shop staff?

and don't deserve being slagged off by shops

Wasn't the writing on the wall though? If the shop changed it's
profile (as many have to be able to stay in business), but you still
went there, knowing you were no longer their typical customer to ask
for something you probably had a good idea they would no longer stock?

or prats on
here...thanks.....

It is frustrating when you want to talk about something important (to
us all) and people think it's funny eh Jim?

that bloke wasn't being funny he was nasty big difference......

So, did you get the rack after all? If not I have a perfectly good
chrome steel one that was on a Raleigh Shopper (20") you can have.

yes got plenty of racks and boxes.but thanks anyway...
