Second, why not go in intending to buy the spokes and cables that you really needed, and then once those were taken care of, turn to the additional "want, but don't need" items. That would've made more sense, no?
Made more sense? Nope. At least not to me. I know, it is only a lowly Specialized hybrid. But it is MY Specialized Hybrid, one which I have made many changes too and enjoy riding every chance I get. That is what matters to me. And that is what should matter to the LBS employee. At least it should if they want to make a sale! I did not go there seeking his approaval on what color stem I have on my bike.
