I wonder how much of this has to do with Trek and how much to do with Internet sales.
Why rail on Trek? Until SRAM came along a couple years ago with component groups there were only 2 choices.
What peeves me about LBS's is the lack of in-stock high end components and small parts. Every time I need bits to service my Dura Ace stuff it always has to be ordered.
The shop that sponsors us carries both Cannondale and Trek in equal amounts. Cannondale is our team's bike sponsor too.
