My LBS wouldn't even look at it. I'm not very happy with them. I was in there a while back looking at options, and all they wanted to do was sell me a Specialized bike. I told them that I wasn't interested in Specialized, and just wanted them to show me some of the other makes they carried, but it was right back to Specialized... which I didn't want... So they showed me a Specialized...
When I called about the free wheel, they refused to even look at it. I followed up with a question about pedals. The mentioned Look, Shimano, and Speedplay... and proceeded to give me the hard sell on Speed play. I mentioned that they failed to iinclude Time, Mavic, and Campy pedals... and went right back to trying to sell me Speedplay, even after I stated that I wasn't interested in Speedplay. <rolls eyes>
And I thought I was stubborn with brand loyalty. At least I'm not supposedly trying to provide a potential customer with what is best for them. I'd rather do my own research and buy on-line than from the LBS and deal with them trying to tell me what they think I want. [end LBS Rant]
