Not throwing stones at you, but that owner takes pride in his business and his (and his store's) reputation and delivering quality service is very important.[/quote]



I didn't take it that way and know that every place/business has it's strengths and weaknesses. I probably should have left out the name of the store in hindsight. I think the thing that concerned me when I starting learning more about maintenance and fit was that I went back twice and asked about fit and two different folks had two different views on the way the bike was set up, stem, and the torque/locktite thing. I was, and still am to a certain extent, very ignorant to the ways of fit and proper bike set up. The only reason I posted was that in the little that I have learned I knew there were a couple of things, in my opinion, that should have been taken care of initially on a bike costing more than my first car.

I shouldn't've mentioned names or thrown anyone or their business under the bus. I did get a screaming deal from them on the bike and good advice and a fair price on a wetsuit.
