Favourite LBS in KC, Lawrence, Topeka area?
I love Bike Source, but they never discount. Great selection and service though. And who else carries Cervelo?
I'm also a fan of Capp's in Topeka. Gerry, Chris, and Jeremey are all great. Gerry, the owner, is most generous with pricing.
Of course, there's Sunflower and Cycleworks in Lawrence, but not a big fan of either.
Where do you shop?

I'm in good with the guys at the Olathe, KS Bike America... although a lot of people have reported having kind of crappy service with them. I have been a customer of Turner's Cycling and Fitness (Overland Park, KS) since the early 90's and they always have oddball stuff for old bicycles, and overall a decent selection of repair parts and tools. For new bike sales, they're basically a Giant-only shop. Not quite, but almost.
I like both.
We got my wife's Townie from BikeSource and I frequent Trek Store as well. Both are very commercialized. They feel more like bike dealerships than anything. They both have competent people, but the atmosphere at either one is just a little too corporate for my taste.

I go to the recylery next to Johnny's. They don't carry a lot of new, but they can order pretty much anything and you don't have to wait long for repairs or orders. Good deals.
I don't know that many shops around here are going to be Cervelo dealers. Do they carry them at Bike Source?

Some good sales at Sunflower (Lawrence) today on a bunch of 58cm bikes. Those of you fitting that size, and are looking for a bike, should go check it out.
