I've been lurking around here for about a week now, and noticed some interesting debates on LBS vs. BD. I agree it's not very nice to go to the LBS waste their time with them measuring you up, giving you a test ride and then go and buy that bike online for a lower price. Guess what happened to me. I went LBS searching for the bike I wanted. They didn't have it and told me they could order it. I thought about it for few days and then sent them e-mail asking if I'll be committed to buy that bike without trying it out. They said yes, but suggest I find some other LBS that has this bike, try it out there, and then come back to them for a better price... Not a very nice thing to suggest, don't you think?
