I'm not too sure of any bikes at most lbs's that could match a price of something on BD but if you'd rather be able to inspect the bike in person then maybe what GMJ said is right. Save up and get something better. Or another option is maybe find some friends or friends of friends who have BD bikes that maybe you could just ride around on who knows. The quality of BD bikes is pretty nice considering the number of people who are satisfied with their rides.
