yes, but I'm the type of person that would take my bike in, introduce myself as the person on the phone that he tried to talk out of the WSD bike, and proceed to tell him what an idiot he was for doing that, since he lost out on a sale and a potential customer for gear, etc. And then I might tell him he might think about what his customers want rather than shove his own opinions down people's throats. He might make more sales that way! Originally Posted by Kano

Now what would make this ESPECIALLY fun would be if this cranky bike dealer also sells this same bike! Originally Posted by midgetcycler

Nice wheels, Floridagal.
As my mom would always say "Ride it in good health."
And always key to get from an LBS you are comfortable with.
Your bike. Your needs.
FWIW, DH and I stopped by my LBS after work today to pick up DH's bike which needed some headset and BB work.
Lo and behold, what's up on the rack but a brandy-spankin' new Trek Pilot 5.0? I asked one of the guys about it, said "I thought you guys didn't carry the Pilot?". He said for '07 they totally re-designed the front end and dropped a whole lot of weight from the line, so it's now a MUCH better bike.
Hmmm.....ok.
So there it is. Turnaround at the LBS.
As I said...for whatever THAT's worth!
