Do you really get parts that cheap if you just work like 2 days a week at the shop?

DO NOT answer this question. You are basically pissing on the shop owners that have been good to you.

I have yet to see a trustworthy bike shop owner that will really care for your bike instead of trying to rip you off.

Nothing is more obnoxious then some punk coming into a shop, knowing exactly how much cost is, and demanding a better deal. That is sacred information that you don't give out to just anyone.

No they have to stay in business. You don't stay in business by giving parts away.
