My LBS suck donkey balls two. I have 4 close to me. One is more of a mountain bike BMX but they do have some vintage bikes forsale out front. Went in and didn't see anything of interest. The other is by the main MUP around the lake and has been around for awhile. THey mainly sell road bikes with some others thrown in. They had an 07 rush hour that they still wanted full price for a few months ago.
One seemed pretty good with a nice wide selection. They had tools and everything too so I was liking this one. The last one is near downtown and actually has some fixies/ss. (Langsters and curbsides though) but they do have Jamis. Of course no sputniks or even aurora's in stock.
So I was trying to get a singlespeed 18t freewheel cog to replace my 16t. The 16t is too tall for my commute. I rode into the one by downtown it is closest to my work and home. Ask if they have any 18t ss free cogs. He checks and says no but we'll order one. Have it in a few days and we'll call you. A week goes by and nothing. I call at end of that week and they say it didn't come we'll order it again. Give us two-three days and we'll call you. Nothing no call for another week or so. So I call back, girl answers with no idea what cog is, asks dude by her, and says she'll look for it and call back. No call and its been a week.
So I call the other place I like that is a little further away sure they would help. Girl answers and again has no clue what I was talking about. Shop mechanic was at lunch and she would have him call me back. No call in a week.
So I ordered the cog and the cog remover tool along with lube and oil and the stuff I need for basick maintenance. My LBS's basically have no clue nor do they care. So I'll only go there out of sheer necessity.
