Not too surprising...though I did see a Next in a 'local legends' shop once(the one time I've been in there). Kinda funny to see something like that next to a tricked out Fandango MTB tandem.
I worked at a shop a ways back that had plenty of dept store bikes come in - partly because of the area and partly because we were the only shop in town. Thankfully, I don't have many of those come my way anymore.
