Dissing them to save a few bucks on accessories is shooting yourself in the foot. Accessories is one of the few places any $$ is made. They can't make it on bike sales alone.
And what do I get for the premium I pay at the shop? Is there a price list on good will generated? Does good will expire? How much of a discount do I get in the future for good will? How is it my issue if their business plan is not profitable on bike sales alone?
Must be nice to be paying
Oxford, Ohio prices and telling people in Boston what to do.
