I recently purchased a Gary Fisher model Capitola bike which had an American flag symbol on the frame. That lead me to believe it was American made and the salesperson made no mention that the bike was merely designed in the USA as I later learned. I also later found to my dimay that this bike is a women's bike frame which the salesperson never made mention of.There is currently a slight difference in frame styles between mens and womens bikes as I now know. The salesperson should have made me aware of that prior to purchase. The bike is very comfortable to ride but I would have chosen another model even at a greater price tag given what I know now! Patio Bike Shop made a sale at the expense of having a customer who will never again purchase or recommend visiting their place of business.\r
