A local LBS quoted me sixty something plus tax right before I completely took apart my bicycle, which forced me to learn all about it! I don't begrudge them their profits, but be reasonable. I know I'll get flamed by all the LBS guys who will explain why this is a fair price, but all the LBS's charge an arm and a leg for a tune-up, except for one. This old man runs a bike store in town and charges 20-25 dollars, and I bet he makes a heck of a lot more money, since he's always busy.
