well... my LBS guy can stick it. i've become very uncomfortable with this place and will have to look elsewhere. in the mean time i'm going to have to stick it out with the no-name bike that was forced on me by a relative to use until i got a normal bike.
all i can say is that i hope those of you advocating bike shops aren't dealing with morons like the ones we're stuck with out here in delaware. the whole thing is very disappointing... i was hoping to have a bike tonight but i don't and it's all because i was lied to by a redneck bike shop punk.
