What!!!
So, I went out bike shopping tonight, and said to myself, "You HAVE to come home with a bike, you idiot. Stop looking, and just go for it".
Went into Y's (mainly to torture myself with their (ahem) social skills).
Saw a Cannondale CAAD9 there, which was my size, and had just been bought. Bugger.
Spoke to the staff there (sigh; you can imagine how lame that experience was), and asked them if they could order another one of the same for me.
I swear they just wanted me out the shop. Was insane! I guess my money was not good enough for them, the spastics.
Headed up to SEO Cycles, and saw my man Yuta (great guy, if you are ever in Omiya).
He sorted me out a Cannondale CAAD9.5 and a pair of Mavic Avenir shoes, all for under 200,000yen.
Great service, friendly store full of riders, oil on the floor, mechanics working on grubby bikes right in front of me, etc. Great stuff!
So, I am picking up tomorrow or Saturday, and I can not bloody wait!!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
