<p>To be honest, Copenhagen Cyclery had already lost my business a long time ago due to other poor service issues. The only reason I was going back was because I need Velorbis parts that I can only get through a Velorbis dealer. Luckly, the manufacturer is working with me directly.</p>

<p>To the original poster, I would encourage you to consider that before you purchase a Public. Even a dutch bike is going to need occasional parts and service eventually. Having the support of a reliable and trustworthy LBS (like, say, Boulevard Bikes) should be a major consideration when laying down money for a premium bike. I chose to buy from CC because I liked the Velorbis bikes better than the Pashleys, which was apparently a poor choice. </p> On the list of "unforgivable"…tag:thechainlink.org,2012-03-29:2211490:Comment:5285982012-03-29T17:46:25.547ZFar'arned Retrogrumpalunkus #63https://thechainlink.org/profile/JamesBlackHeron

<p>I don't know if it's "unforgiveable", since people may have life circumstances that are beyond their control; again, we're talking about a small business here.

If there really is an issue so serious you cannot attend to your business properly it is quite easy to change your outgoing voice mail and set an auto-responder on your e-mail letting people know what is happening.</p>
