Nontheless, I love dealing with Glen @ Piermont. And I'll bet they have more profitible "walk in" traffic for accessories & apparell than any of the Manhattan shops.
I know Paul Levine of Signature (the Ultimate Super Weenie by Which All Others Shall Be Judged). Paul is from my neck of the woods (Orange County). I doubt Signature outsells Piermont 4-1, but they may well sell more (very) high end bikes. I'm guess Piermont's gross sales are higher, driven an astonishing volume of accessory sales. Which is far more profitable than bicycle sales anyway.
