They candidly showed me the pricing sheets of MSRP vs. what they can charge and so forth. I want to support them, so we were talking also about what they might be able to do for me if I test bikes in the big city where I might find an 07 sale bike, but come home and have the LBS order something.

Chances are good I will need some kind of modification, because I have mannish proportions (no long legs here) but tiny hands...so maybe R700 shifters, or different bar/stem. And, depending on the bike, maybe something on wheels. I don't know.

Anyhow, I think they know I am trying to support them. We're a small community, and I'm a business owner, too, so I try hard (although judiciously) to support local businesses if I can.

Anyhow, they deserve pie because I tend to talk their ears off.
