sucks about the stolen bike.

so, you're in milwaukee. it has *lots* of bike shops that either have or can custom order you exactly what you want. the price may be slightly more, but you get to see it before you buy it, you can take it back if it's somehow faulty, and you're supporting a local business. plus you don't pay for shipping.

why do people mail order so much crap? it just doesn't make sense for the $5 savings.
