Would I be wrong to think; having the product readily available could greatly impact the sale when it comes to being an average consumer?
OK, some points. Are the parts grey market? Shimano has a min. price they sell to brick and mortar. I don't always get free shipping for .com stuff. Where do you go to get some of your bike stuff serviced?
