Online shopping is going go be your friend if you are going go to be putting in serious commuting miles. If you get all your stuff from the LBS, you'll pay almost double. Niagaracycle has some really reasonable prices if you are willing to wait a week or so for your parts. Try to anticipate when you'll need commonly worn items like tires, chains, cassettes, tubes, etc. and buy them before you absolutely need them so you don't have to wait.
