I have a shop that's like 3 miles away but I don't like the guys there, I'd rather wait 2 days to get something from Bells even if it's just a chain or tube.
You realize they make less profit when you do that, right? Amazon and eBay seller fees aren't cheap.
It's kinda like you're supporting your lbs, but not really.
