1. Re-fitted the rear shock upside down so that the air valve was pressed right up against the frame.
2. Cut the dropper post cable too short, making it impossible to latch the post in the high setting.
3. Left all the downtube cable guides loose.
4. Left the drive side crank loose.
The bike basically fell apart on the next ride! Never been back to that shop since.
Sounds like either a new employee or incompetent. I would have returned to the shop and had a word with the manager to discover which employee had done the work, have him retrain/monitor their work and have a discussion about potential liability. Some one else could have been injured if management is not notified. Besides, you may have gotten a free something out of it as an apology.
