So all this makes me contemplate the question:
Am I being a dick to my LBS by not accepting ****ty service, a bike I don't want and probably follow up service that will be even worse than going to a hooker looking for 'a lasting relationship' all to keep his kids fed?
Sadly, I'm not even trying to be sarcastic - this is my situation outside of buying online.
I also have a Chevy Suburban for sale, you'd be a dick not to buy it off me if you live locally and don't want to help me feed his kids too
