Pete,

I guess they were mad at me because I forgot to take my certificate of cycling competency with me  ;) .... : http://nztony.smugmug.com/Cycling/1988-Seoul-Olympics-South/i-DJcx28H/A

They didn't want a bar of me as I don't "look" like a cyclist - another shop tried that on with me in Auckland in the 1980s so I went down the road and spent 10s of 1000s with them over
the next few years! This kind of revenge is sweet!
