Here in Manhattan, i've seen people walk into bike shops and say "So, i want a road bike, what's the best one you have?" and walk out with a full Dura-Ace'd Merlin 15 minutes later.
I think that's why most bike shops here won't give me the time of day.. they can sniff it out within seconds by the way i start looking the bikes over - i know my stuff, plus i'm cheap, and they hate that.
