So I asked Hamann about the price/availability of their aluminum pedals and this is what I got back. Don't know if I would want to do business with an outfit this secretive.



ear Jim,

The Hamann aluminum pedals for the Mini Cooper S are available.

Sounds like good customer service to me!
Of course, without an 800 #, I wouldn't call.

Plus, they may be having problems with competitive spying, or Spam.

The issue is that your shopping and they’re selling, if they talk one on one they think they can close the sale. Just a poor business model that will probably lose them more customers then they would care to admit.

I agree that it's not the best way to do business. Especially if they say that they CAN'T mail quotes. Of course they can. They won't. I still think that it's a good idea to speak with each potential customer personally though.

Only need to move 5 miles North and as crazy as it sounds it could work - As the man said “There is nothing more powerful then an idea whose time has come” or something like that.
