It also is a resolution thing. The LBS near my office was out of the more common sizes because of the christmas and new year sales. Also saw a guy buying a $3000 full carbon bike to get back into cycling - my LBS owner was telling him how carbon was the best option for him. Heh - I like that LBS, but if you don't have a clear idea of what you need they really sell you the moon. This guy had bought a bike, pedals, shoes, pump and I could still see a predatory look in the LBS guy's eyes
