I have no idea who carries Cannondale. Goofy, huh?

The LBS - http://www.condorcycles.com/

They mostly stock Condor, Condor and Condor as well as some crappy stuff from people you've never heard of (marin, specialized, brompton, birdy, colnago, litespeed, paris, etc.)

LBS 1.Trek
LBS 2.specialized


yeah not as many options as most you guys, haha.

I can't imagine a store that carried Trek and Specialized. Where I live, the stores that carry those brands are driven by those brands, and evrything else is very minor and shived in the background. If one shop tried to carry both, I would imagine things getting ugly quick.

Example: I went to LBS#2, which lists several different brands and (at the time) was the only store to carry Cannondale. I knew that Cannondale and Trek made the two biggest production frames, so I went to test ride a big frame. They told me that they didn't have a Cannondale in my size, and when I asked when they would, they told me that they were phasing out Cannondale because it didn't have as many options for fit as Specialized. I see now that was a load of crap. Anyway, six months later LBS #1 was carrying Cannondale instead, but I already had bought a Trek off the 'bay. Never did get to test ride a Cannondale...
