After lots of thoughts, decided to go ahead and buy the Hercules Ryders ACT 110. Bought the same from RR Cycle mart in Madivala [on 26th of Sep 09]
The Raja Cycle mart guy told me that the bike would arrive the next week every time I called through August. The last call I made to him he said it would take 2-3 weeks - with that I gave up hopes with that shop.
RR had only one cycle left out - which was on the display [atleast thats what was claimed!]. I was just wondering whether I'm just too desperate to get the bike .. but on re-thinking, I wasn't desperate to buy, but to start cycling at the earliest.
So went to Total Mall with kids and my friend Sandy. Kids were so amazed to see so many different bikes. They were immediately attracted to all those popular cartoons used for advt.
Say after a small negotiation, settled for INR9500 for this model. The cycle was already assembled since it was in display - the sales guy tried to cleanup whatever he can and handed the bike over to me! .. it still had l traces of dust - but didn't mind. Its of course to be dirty eventually!! I hope I make it more dirty by riding!
Said no to all the accessories - didn't get anything free as well. Rakesh claimed he could sell it at 11500, but had promised me to sell it at 9500 so he is agreeing. But thats ok - he is doing his job!
Pushed the cycle to total mall and took a small spin around the mall to load the bike to my car. And headed back home after a much at Mc D and a coffee at CD - had a movie planned that night [Unnai pol oruvan].
