well by what i see dans comp is has the cheapest prices around. they probally get the stuff like frames, cranks, and others on holesale, therefore get to sell the products cheaper. hmm...isnt that what walmart does? yes. if dans gets me angry ill just go to albes. what ever makes you happy. go pick where you want to shop and shop there, just remember there will always be other peoples oppinion of that stor or shop youll have to decide what works for you!!!!
