my lbs is pretty sweet. once i bought my p2 there and now that i frequently bring it down there for new parts and such, theyre amazing. just brought it in for new tires and a new cable on friday and get it back with a free tune up, a clean off, and a discount on the labour. plus i got it back a day early cause the mechanic said he liked my bike and think it looks sick and wanted me to be back out on it tup

One of my lbs is pretty good like I always go in and ride around on the new bikes, the employees watch me but they dont say a word cause they dont wanna lose a sale. I ride fully's and hardtails theres just one thing they do they lock up all the bikes over 3g's and you have to ask to get them unlocked and looked at. Its still pretty good I bunnyhop all over the place testing out forks and shocks and theve never said anything lol.

one time i brought a sproket at my lbs, cause my old one was badly bent. They didnt had the driver size that i needed, so i order one. they told me they would get the driver in 2 weeks max. 10 days later they called me and told me they couldnt order the driver. So that realy pissed me of.

Thats rather difficult to do at my lbs.... The only non cross country bikes they have are intense, Santa cruz and foes frames :/.

So basically they make no money....awesome. You must really like these guys a lot eh?
No shop can do that forever, or for everyone, maybe you should find a new shop and do these "dudes" a favour. Confused
