    You can't DEMAND the difference back. However you could always ask them nicely, although they don't have to give you the difference back, you never know...
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    If you bought on-line you probably have 7 days in which you can reject the item under the Distance Selling Regs.

    Then buy it at the reduced price.

    Buying on-line is a good way to hedge against a price drop. :cool:

    Only for 7 working days is a good way against a price drop, not all goods come under distance selling act nor are you allowed to use goods only inspect them then send them back

    Why not buy the same bike again,take it to the next nearest store near you and put it back with your other receipt
