Support your LBS - Local Bike Shop.These guys are not in it for the money. Okay, they don't give stuff away, but pretty close to it.
Yes, they may cost a little more than your favourite online dealer, but generally you'll get good advice and you're more likely to get the right thing in the first place and most likely, be able to exchange it if it turns out to be not for you.
These are dealers I've found in my local area. If a dealer isn't here it's not because they're no good. I just haven't been there yet. And they're in alphabetical order:
- Halter's Cycles : Lots of stock, lots of advice - Giant / Cannondale plus ...
- Jay's Cycle's : Large Trek stockist in Princeton ...
- Knapp's Cyclery : Large, trendy looking Specialized dealer ...
- Kopp's Cycles : A real old-fashioned bike shop ... that's a good thing - mostly Bianchi ...
- Wheelfine Imports : For the European bike fan ... very cool ... strangely home-brewed website ...
- Wheel Life Cycles : Specialized stockist, plus ...
