This is my first purchase where I am doing something like this and I am not sure of the etiquette. I was thinking since I am paying over 2 grand for a bike, then perhaps they should work with me some...
Thoughts?
My LBS gives 3 years of free labour with every bike purchase, along with 2 free tuneups in each of those 3 years. Maybe I just have an outstanding LBS, but I would expect roughly the same deal if I ever bought a new bike at any store. In this case, I would take my $2000 of business elsewhere.
