LBS etiquette, commissions etc...

Granted, I can be pretty callous about such things, but I wouldn't worry about it. You're under no obligation to continue to use the same salesperson from one bike purchase to the next (just like you're not obligated to shop at only one LBS). It sounds like you got really good service from SP#2. It also sounds like he earned his commission. Don't sweat this, especially since you merely liked SP#1.

Thanks indysteel! I did prefer Salesperson #2, but nevertheless, I know there is a fair amount of etiquette involved when bike shopping at an LBS so I want to make sure I do the right thing.

Honestly, I don't think a customer should be responsible for sorting out commission issues. I don't even know if any of the shops I frequent are commission based. If the two SP want to duke it out over the sale, let them. But I don't think you should worry about it, at least not on the facts you've shared.

Oh, and congrats on the new bike!!
