I have to plug these guys. This is an awesome bike shop.

I went in there tonight with $1000 burning a hole in my
pocket. What did I get? Same thing I got when I bought my
wife's bike there. It's always the same: zero pressure,
expert advice, personalized service, a cool atmosphere, and
a good bike for a good price. These guys specialize in
selling $4000 bikes but I was treated like a high end
customer even though I was buying a recreational machine.
It was a choice between 2 or 3 bikes in my $ range and the
expert salesperson steered me right to the one I really
wanted and needed. He found me a size which fit me like a
glove. The regular sticker price was $50 below MSRP which I
liked for a 2004 model. They threw in a cage and waterbottle
(actually they asked me if I wanted 2 of each but I didn't).
Then they threw it up on the stand and had a mechanic do a
final check and tune. Then he told me the price included a
year of unlimited free tuneups. They personally help me load
it in the car.
Oh, and this is unusual, as I was just about to pay they
said they were knocking $30 off just cuz. We pay 14.5% total
sales tax up here so I ended up getting the bike for less
than MSRP including tax which I was quite happy with (they
have to make a buck too right?).
Places like this are why we must support our local
bike shops!
