There are two main LBSes around here that I ever go to. One is nearer my house, the other is not. The one that is not is the one I will go out of my way to go to. if I have to order things, I order from there. the other one I go to if I need somehting RIGHT NOW - but even for run of the mill things I've found them weirdly undersupplied. I mean - you wouldn't think a barrel adjuster or a set of downtube cable stops would really be all that hard to come by but the shop near my house had only 1 of them and they wanted $30 for them.. -sv
