Skate Shack? A joke of a place...

I went there today to buy 2 x bikes and have my daughters bike fixed.  The fool behind the counter said he "wouldn't repair a souk bike" (which it wasn't).

 

So I told him if that was his attitude, I wasn't confident he would look after the bikes I was about to buy (for me and my son).  He shrugged.  I told him he would lose the sale (Qr 5000!!!), so he made a call, and came back with "no souk bikes".  So we left.

 

Now I need to know where I can buy a good quality bike (please don't say C'four...), and get some minor repairs done..?

 

thanks in advance...

There is new sports shop called GO SPORT at Villagio, they deal with top end bikes among other sports equipment. Try it out, cause I noticed they had a seperate section for bike spares such as rims, sprockrts, chains etc.

it is not because the type of the bike, it is just simply because their staffs is useless and incompetent.

I took one Race bike ( top model ) for repair and got exactly the same answer.  I told him that it was a 5K USD bike, suddenly his attitude changed and but the result the same, he could not repair it. He said he was not able to do it
