Why are some bike shops so clueless?

HEYWOOD BMX:
 I rang a Manchester bikeshop yesterday to enquire as to if they had any old school BMX stuff.Was told that they had boxes of gear left from the `80s,but they threw it out about a month ago as it was just taking up space and never sold.Same thing happened about a year ago,shop had binned a Powerlite race f/f and an 87 Performer! Gutted is an understatement!

meticulous:
sacralidge! :'(

When I started my OS Haro build I bought some new school rims with 14mm not 10mm axles so enquired with local shop: 'your gonna need a new frame mate!' then their next idea was to file out the frame...cuz  after powder-coating, an old Haro is worth wrecking instead of an exle eh?

Ended up lathing a nice notch in axle from 14 to 10mm & voila!

This will probably happen again with other bike stores...

I might start ringing round some bike shops...

offering a free clear out of unsold, outdated bike parts taking up their much needed store space!!  ::)
