If you're the type that can buy a bike off the rack, adjust the saddle and seatpost, tune up the derailers and brakes then BD bikes offer a pretty good deal. If the bike shop has to swap out the seatpost and stem to get a good fit (like they do for me) or if you don't tune up your own bike, then a bike shop is probably a better deal.
