You did a fine job purchasing your bike , I like the review and follow up you
did . Don't mind Alan He's just a hater. Alan are you telling me the bikes that
your lbs receive from the top suppliers are just as horribly put together as a BD bike.
His LBS stated the price up front , then changed it on seeing the brand probably.
The best thing here is talk to the LBS and be honest tell them what you told us
that you have purchased a lot bikes from them, and will in the future. Alan
I am surprised you don't hate craigslist purchases to.

Ps Alan I like hearing both sides of the coin, I like reading your posts Alan
Sometimes they sound angry like bike shop owner, sometimes they sound
inciteful to what goes on in a LBS, but nothing less I like to hear folks
Experiences, any time we can get one more bike on the road I am happy.
