lbs trade out parts for free, or upgrade at cost? if you order online, how many
additional components will you need to buy? will the lbs fix/replace things
immediately, while the online guys have 4-week turnaround? will the online
guys make you send the bike (or parts) back at your expense, and charge
you shipping for a replacement? is it worth anything to you for someone else
to set up and adjust the bike?
