And you don't know what they have locally without a few phone calls and or trips. And, at least here, most shops don't have staff that know anything except what make and model of bike they have in stock (don't get me started on Trek shops!). Forget about getting advice or info on how to deviate from that. They end up doing the research and ordering while you're waiting that you would have already done at home. Forget about vintage or even older stuff. I will stop locally for shoes and helmets. And some other stuff, but not much.
