Yeah - I love those numbers they make up! They claim to undersell your LBS, and they send you something you (most people) don't understand with instructions to slap it together, and you end up at the LBS (many times) with a broken whatsit? In this respect - BD is working in synergy with all the LBS's near where they sell a bike. Pet Peeve: Using all those names of the once mighty classic machines. Grrr....

One of the best business plans I've heard lately was the guy who opened a bike-repair business across the road from a WalMart.
