my LBS is amazing the first time I walked in they were really nice and didn't try to sell me anything till I asked and now they're still always giving me advice never trying to sell me anything in fact they once told me I would be better buying my tri clip on bars used cuz it would be cheaper . but that also might be cuz my family has bought 5bikes from them and a crap load of gear

Everytime I visited LBS to check out the LATEST new products, they had no idea what I was talking about. I ended up being the one that explained to them the products. For example, I visited one of the branches of the largest retailer in town to ask when they would have Giro Air Attack in stock. They had no clue what that was.

Good luck finding a decent LBS. We don't have much to choose from locally but everytime I need assistance wrenching or a question about my own DYI wrenching they are more than helpful. Odds' n ends' such as nuts, washers, spacers... they got my back always. I can't always pay their prices, but I do purchase some supplements, lubes, and tubes often.

Rules violation, specifically: Rule #8: Saddles, bars, and tires shall be carefully matched.
Valid options are:
Valid options are:
- Match the saddle to the bars and the tires to black; or
- Match the bars to the color of the frame at the top of the head tube and the
saddle to the color of the frame at the top of the seat tube and the tires to
the color where they come closest to the frame; or - Match the saddle and the bars to the frame decals; or
- Black, black, black
Suggest you go with the lime green bar tape and lime green Fizik saddle to complete the look.
