Yep. I know which shop around me I would start at if I wanted a MTB, if I wanted a touring bike, if I wanted a race or Tri bike, if I wanted a BMX, or if I wanted a fat bike. Many, but not all, also cater to "average" in some way, and the shops that only cater to "average" jsut don't seem to be as well off.

Nah. I'd drive a Shelby GT350R everyday if I could!
