I might add the owner of the LBS gave me great deals on my Rans bikes. I guess the only thing I can fault him for is not stocking more bents. But part of that could be he gets no sales support from the young guys.
Fortunatly there is a LBS in town now that is mainly a bent shop, and there is one about 50 miles away that does a lot of bent sales.
Bottom line its just the attitude of the young and their inexpirence.
