To be honest, it'd be great simply to be able to walk into a LBS.

They've all gone round here - it's crap.

There is one new store [which ain't too hot] and that's it.

Ridiculous for a 'city'...

There are a few in different 'burbs, but having used all of these over the years and seen how they have mistreated / misunderstood my bikes I would never dream of using them again...

The problem arose as they were located where the spivs wanted to build the next 'unique' 'exclusive' 'executive' 'execute' 'luxury' fall-apart-ments and so either the leases didn't get renewed, or the owners sold and moved on / died. In either case the buildings got demolished.

I really regret not actively skiving off work to rummage through all those bloody skips...

I can walk in to my LBS and buy NOS Manitous (FS+HT), STSs, LTSs, iDrives, K2s as it is now. Won't even get started on the NOS BMX stuff

How have they kept their heads above water is a mystery to me, with all that "dead" stock.

totally agree with feetabix (although unless you are in your 20's now then im afraid to tell you that you are actually approaching your 5th decade!)





Please don't disturb my seat in the lounge marked 'denial'..... ;)
 
Was talking about this with beavis the other day whilst flicking through a 1992 MBUK. We were thinking about ringing some of the shops to see what they had left! :oops: :LOL:

First bike I'd have would be the grey Clockwork I used to long after bitd. Then maybe an original GT RTS1...... Oh, and a 1990 Marin Team..... Add a 1993 Orange Vit T with full M900 + Pace...... Hmmmmm, then pick up a Yo Eddy in aqua fade. I'd have to sell my house!

I suspect with 15000 members on this site FMJ, your LBS would think you were their hero, if you put the shop name and contact details on here in "bright lights,
perhaps then he could clear some of his old stock, and have a really Merry Christmas......???
