The reason online prices are cheaper is because there are no staff doing fittings or manning a store front for you to walk into. You're basically being a cheap skate expecting the lbs to pony up for those services you have no intention of paying for.
He wants him to do a service he's willing to pay for, lots of riders pay bike shops for fitment and buy a bike elsewhere so I don't see what the issue is here. Fitment is just another service a bike shop should provide and selling this to a customer is no different than any other part or accessory so how can they dictate how the customer should use this new purchase. The treat us like this cause we stand for it, that is the unreasonable part IMO.
