| - Why are they still in business?
I stopped in as part of my search for a comfort/hybrid 24 speed such as produced by Giant, Fuji and Schwinn; thus, Ehrhardt's Schwinn. I told the male who, from behind the counter in the back, sort of greeted me, what I was looking for; exactly what I was looking for. He pulled out a 7-speed for my consideration. Uh, no, I said 24-speed. He told me that "they" had found that all that's needed around there are 7 speeds. He pulled out a Diamondback. Diamondbacks have only 21 or fewer speeds. For the third time I told him I wanted a 24-speed. He told me that I wouldn't get much with three more gears. Aside from his being completely wrong, he had demonstrated his unwillingness to heed the request of one who might, otherwise, put food on his table. I turned my back and exited the store.
PS.: I'm not a kid, was well dressed and groomed, have and look like I have enough money to buy a bike.
