I bought from a shop that I don't frequent... it's all good I guess. I felt a little bad at first but hey, they didn't have the bike I wanted and one of the guys there was constantly trying to sell me other bikes. They are generally a good group of guys and will probably still go there for my parts as needed but they didnt get the big sale (this time)
Better to buy a bike you like at a price you like from a shop that has it than to buy a bike that is less than what you want, for more than you want to spend just because you like the shop.
