Mez, would you elaborate a little more on what information, pricerange, expectations, purposes you explained to the sales staff?
Like 99% of bike sales people, I'll start with the low end of the range and push higher options entirely dependent on what the customer suggests their needs and budget. This is simply because few customers will take well to it being suggested they should buy a $10,000 S-Works Epic when they are looking for something to punt along a gravel path; and customers who want higher end machinery are normally switched on enough to actually explain what sort of bike they are after.
The crux of it is they need to listen and inquire as to what your needs and pricerange are; if they don't do this or the customer is unable to explain this, it makes the situation very difficult.
I find it unlikely in the extreme that if you intimated you were after high end equipment you would have been directed to cheap snotters...
