Same here. Total metro area of about 2 million people & none to be had. A clue as to why you get charged $12 shipping for a small item from their mail order - you get about 6 pounds of catalogs.
I am at a loss as to why Trek and Specialized think they are going to make their retailers survive with the all or nothing idea? Last time I visited the Trek place I saw plenty of Made in China stickers on their low end bikes. How long til the mid level stuff is the same?
