Why all the BD hatred here? Seriously, the guy comes here offers some smoking deals. You have 2 choices, buy or not buy. End of story. But it never fails that some dufus begins ripping the guy a new one about his business. Last I checked nobody was forced to buy from BD. I've never dealt with BD in the past, but I bit on the Fly Ti deal. Nobody held a gun to my head, but it was undeniably a good deal. I dont care how many people work for him, how he ships it, what his zodiac is, how much he makes or what language he speaks. WHO CARES...............
Like it or not, BD or PF will make a lot LBSes obsolete. Same bikes/components for 1/2 the cost. LBSes will either adapt or go away. That is how the market works.
