- As for dealers being pissed, a local shop used to carry Raleigh and they are working on selling the last of their inventory. They went another direction since Raleigh has pushed online sales for less than what the dealer sells em for.
Yeah, my semi-corporate (8-10 stores?) LBS just dumped Raleigh and the 54" Willard was one of their last remaining bikes. They're picking up Jamis now.
