There are two LBS near me, one who sells Raleigh with the other selling Specialized. The lower end Raleigh dealer is not very helpful. At the Specialized store, I mentioned that I'm thinking about a tri bike, he mentions that he has a last year's model transition. It was priced fair to low, I took it for a spin in the lot, but what bothered me, was that I knew it was too big for me, but he felt that he could fit it to me. I was turned off by the fact that he was so eager to "make it work" in order to move his old stock. I feel if I'm going to be making a major purchase I don't want something that was shoehorned to make a sale, ugh.
