Cannot read minds or tea leaves..

What brands are in the Shops around where you live ?, learn about them.

those will be the ones that people who live around there will be re selling..

Here the LBS sells Trek Felt Redline and a few others .. orders QBP stuff when requested../

there is a Specialized dealer but they are 2 towns away so they are rarely seen around here ,
unless someone drives for a hour + to go get them, there.

and there is the natural lateral similarity across brands of same category and price point.
