A sucker borne every day, no offence.
Don't ever buy without searching for the best offer, and be wary of bogus price comparison sites too. You should pay somewhere between 5000-7000 SEK for a good quality bike, and honestly, whats the point of a top tuned lady's bike, you sit down on those, can't push the speed by a standing position. If it ain't gonna go fast why pay for formula 1 breaks
I live in a small town. The bike shop is ten minutes from my house. The salesman calls me by my first name. If he screws me over, I'm kicking his ass.
I'm paying premium for quality. A Skeppshult bike is supposed to last for 20 years without a problem. Of course, now that they've started using Shimano gears I'm not so convinced.. But my grandmother still has her Skeppshult bike from the fifties, which is why I went looking for that particular brand. I had no idea they were so expensive though.
Before I went to this particular salesman, I went to a bike repair shop. I asked them how many Skeppshult they have had to repair and they said, "We don't repair Skeppshult". I asked them why and they said because noone brings them there. I took that as a good sign since that bike repair shop is the biggest (and best) in my town. The only case he could remember was one where the frame had exploded after being filled with water that froze in the winter.. I'm guessing it was one of those bikes they pull out of the Fyris stream every year (the bicycle stands in Uppsala are situated along a small stream that drunk students pass every day).
