Dayton Ohio had a really great LBS owned by a couple brothers named Wright. They did have to buy some rubber parts... shipped down from Akron... but most parts they made right there in the shop. They even made complete bicycles and became quite well known for their craftsmanship. But then they got to screwing around with that darn flying machine idea..... and ended up closing the bicycle shop.
Other so-called "local" shops don't make ANY parts what-so-ever. Everything is just shipped to the store and sold off the shelf. I might as well use the Internet to have the same Japanize parts shipped to my house. We haven't had any local bike stuff in Dayton since Huffy closed it's doors.
