The Little Engine That Could!

Yep.  We were plugging along at a steady clip yesterday!  Got another five newbies out, and finally more cruisers!  One of them being a Motobecane ladies cruiser!  I can't remember EVER having one of those!  Also got in a beautiful 60cm Nishiki road bike!  All in splendor with cable pass through and gorgeous lug work!  Not to mention a further dent in the kiddo bikes we have in abundance!  Thanks for the comments and e-mails regarding yesterdays post!  Seems I am not alone in my confusion over what constitutes "acting your age", especially for men! 
Yesterday had a gent come down and check out the Rincon we had, looking for the right bike for his wife, who then came in to confirm it was the right ride for her.  The plan was if she liked it, he would call in with his credit card to purchase it, and the Peugeot hybrid we had for him.  She liked it, but that was where the plan seemed to unravel.  I waited for his call, but in the interim had several more folks come in, interested in both bikes.  Here's where I had a conundrum.  Our policy is NO holds!  First come, first serve, but he had been in here several times before looking for the right bike for her, so his interest was assured as well as his commitment.  So I made calls.  Several, but only got an answering machine.  About five hours later, still hearing nothing, another couple who had came in earlier in the day, came back from the driving range t see if they first gent had contacted me, as he had not and the second couple were also repeat looky loos (and the husband had already purchased his bike from us last week) I acquiesced and sold them the Rincon, while at the same time another gent (who had also been in before) purchased the Peugeot.  SO, if our normal fortune stands true, the gent who had come in first will probably call or come in today wondering where the bikes are.  Yes, that's just the way it works.  We hate not being able to make each and every customer satisfied, but as always, communication is the key.
ANYWAY!
Have more and more goodies to work on today, so I'd best get a move on!
