Well the original lbs i was going to buy from sold only specialized, and they are closer to me. After I rode the Giant from the other LBS I wanted to get that. So I wanted to try and make both LBS's happy. I also like specialized accessories more. In this economy we have to cut costs wherever we can. It cost me $50 to fill my car tonight at $3.75 a gallon. I bought the bike, lock, trunk mount, pedals, and a jersey from the lbs, and then a helmet, air pump, c02, tube, levers, bag, and computer from the other LBS.
