It's been crap the last 2 years, but maybe it'll be different this year? Report back and let us know how it is.
They usually have a clearance store on the second level. Last year, it was so much smaller than normal... it only took up half the room. I couldn't believe it. But they sometimes had a trade/swap rooom down the hall with independent bike shops selling their stuff, and that's where you sometimes found some great stuff.

You know how in other industries there are the Marque Industry Shows... Electronics CES (Las Vegas), Automobiles the Geneva and Detroit Auto Show...
What's the biggest bike show in NA? The LA Bike show?
I would love to attend one where there is lots of Free Schwagg, and Drools
