Can you explain why you feel this way / what makes the LBS bikes preferable? I own a bikesdirect fixie that's now on loan, and I'm not sure I'd ever buy a road bike from them because I'd rather spend another $100-$200 to have somebody make sure I was fit properly, but I want to hear why BD bikes end up in the rafters.
