I throw plently of work at my lbs.I just dont buy stuff thats way marked up. And if i tried some on and they wrent to much more than online it wouldnt bother me to buy them.but i have seen tires and other stuff x2 online price or other bike shops price. Lots of times on stuff they are a good price just not allways. And his lbs is gonna hate him for trying on a pair of shoes and deciding not to buy them? If i remeber shoping around isn't a bad thing. so to say they wont like someone for deciding not to buy something at your store once is pretty harsh?
