How long should it take for an LBS to get a bike?

[ReptilesBlade]

The reason I am asking is because I purchased a Trek 7500 a little over two
weeks ago and the LBS still has not received it form the company. I was just
wondering if this is normal and if so how much longer I might have to wait.

I wouldn't be suprised if the 2005 models were sold out and the 2006
models were not yet available. This time of year, you're usually better
off buying something that the dealer has in stock (if it fits) since
you can usually get end-of-season closeout prices.

Ok then, when might be a reasonable time to expect them to get it?

Rep;
My shop took 5-6 days, as I recall. They were able to ck it on the
computer to see if it was in stock, etc. I'd think they'd be able to
tell you specifics, esp after 2 wks...

OK, a couple questions.

7500 (with shock) or 7500FX (lighter version without suspension post &
fork)?
What size?
What area of the country do you live?

With that I can run down accurate info for you.

7500 with shocks (I am NOT going to ride an aluminum framed bike on these
shitty streets without shocks).

Size 15 I think.

DeSoto Missouri USA, roughly an hours drive south of St. Louis Missouri.

The LBS is situated in Festus/Crystal City Missouri only 45 minutes drive
south of St. Louis Missouri.

Let me know if you need anything else.

I took over three week's for my wife's Felt to arrive at the LBS. From what
I have heard, it seems that even manufacturers have had difficulty
maintaining inventory this year.

OK, just checked the dealer website; the only warehouse that presently has
7500s in stock in 15" is California, which is neither your dealer's primary
or secondary warehouse location (meaning that, if he pulled a bike out of
that warehouse, the freight would be pretty expensive, probably adding about
$40 to the cost of the bike).
