I got a new bike recently and I've recently had some accessories put onto it. I could've gotten them quite a bit cheaper on Amazon or some such place, but I've heard it is tough to get things onto a disc brake bike. The LBS guy (it's a small shop, just the owner and one employee) put them on for me with no labor charges. Also put my Topeak rack and Ergon bars onto the new bike with no charge. Am I crazy, in this economy wherein we are all pinching pennies until they scream, to pay more. In my mind, I'm glad the shop is there (the other dedicated bike shop in town is terrible, and the only other one is a department in a large sporting goods store), so I feel like I should support him when I can.
