Yeah its not supporting the LBS, but you are getting a fairly good quality product for a good price.
I feel bad sometimes that I don't support LBS so I have tried to at least go into a few of them to see what they carry so if there isn't much difference in price I can buy some stuff there. Its just fun to look around and since people are always asking about bikes its good to know what the LBS carry so I can direct people to what might work out well for them.
