...found out my good friend is no longer managing the local bike shop. With that said, I now have zero reason to hand these thieves another dime.

So now I have a dilemma, I'm saving up the last few hundred dollars for my All City Macho Man and have to figure out how the hell I'm going to buy it without a LBS I'm willing to hand money to.

Do I go the build route (again) or try to get an online vendor who likes me to order the complete for me. I'm looking at you Scrod. Is there any contractual reason why you couldn't? I know Surly has a deal where I'd have to hand money to my worst enemy as long as he was the regional Surly commander or some ****.
