Anyone do business with that LBS in Saddle Brook? I might be buying something mail-order from them. Are they a decent shop? I'm wanting to get the Axiom Quasimodo and they look to be the best shot at getting one. I would check them out in person, but being car light in OK makes it just a little too difficult.
TIA

Is this the Original Bike Shop (http://www.findbikeshop.com/bikeshop/Original-Bike-Shop-saddle-brook-11124.htm)? Why are you ordering from there?

It is. As stated in the OP, I'm wanting to get a mess 'pack from Axiom, the Quasimodo. None of the LBS' near me in OK can get. An email to Axiom just referred me back to the distributor list for the U.S. Those that don't require a dealer log-in to view didn't have it listed.
A Google search came back w/Action Bicycles, which is a wholesaler in the NE part of the country. I emailed them and they provided the contact info that LBS, who is willing to do mail order.
To be honest, I'm still trying to make up my mind whether I really want that bag, or get a Banjo Brothers Large backpack locally. My LBS carries BB, they just don't stock that particular item. So I'm basically going to have order sight unseen either way.
Well, consider the ease of servicing said item or if you have any warantee concerns, it would be infinitely easier to deal with your LBS, even if they have to order the item... Just a thought anyway.

Thanks for that link! But I think I'll just get a Banjo Brothers at my LBS. That way if there are any warranty issues, I'll have someone local who can point me in the right direction. Plus the BB is waterproof, which is a good thing since my college texts and laptop will be in it.
