If you shop local, test ride, ask questions & get their good friendly advice and knowledge....
Then buy online or elsewhere, then have to take the bikes in for some maintenance
What kind of service are you gonna deserve ??
Support your LBS, stop by to say hi.
They'll be there when you need them
Sure, buy stuff online , but do your own research.
Just my thoughts.
