My wife and I went to the Cycle Smithy as she was looking for a new bike. The people were very helpful and set up 2 or 3 bikes for her to ride. We might have bought a bike from them, but we had flown in and it would have been hard to get the bike bad home. Airline fees and Chicago taxes would have killed any price advantage. Also, it was the first time she had shopped for a bike in about 25 years...
