I bought my bike online for $400 LESS than I could get it anywhere local. Once I received it I finished the final assembly then took it to a bike shop and PAID them to look it over and adjust it. I fully expected to pay for their expertise. Any good business owner would not turn away the money I spent simply because I didnt buy the bike from them. Thats called spite and it's a great way to lose business and end up closing your doors. Matter of fact, the owner of the LBS and I talked about the deal I got and he was amazed. He wasnt bitter at all. I paid him for a fitting and I have been by several times since for a refit and he is always quite friendly.
