I'm a big believer in supporting my LBS(s) but I'm lucky enough to live in a city with many good ones. If they don't have what I want, they can usually order it quickly. But if they can't get it, then I wouldn't feel too bad about ordering it. For some reason I couldn't find an LBS that could order 175mm Sugino 75's (maybe it doesn't appear in the QBP or JB catalog) so I ordered them from Business Cycle. Sadly, one of my favorite stores closed this spring and I don't want to see that happen again.
