So I have a friend... no really.

Anyway she's thinking of buying a new bike. The LBS has her bike in but it comes with a standard double. From what I understand that is how it was delivered to the LBS.

So here's the question as she put it to me:

Question: If, in the catalog, a triple crank is noted as "optional" does
that mean the bike store should be able to order it for me at no extra
charge - and just charge me to install it???

I haven't purchase a bike in oh, 9 years. And I don't know what the protocol is for these things. I would think that if it's an option in the catalogue the LBS should be able to switch it out and only charge for additional service, but I really have no idea.

Also, ..... I was wondering what is an economical
price for pedals?

See comment above... I have no clue.

So all input appreciated.

TIA
