I'm looking into a new bike for my mom who just turned 70. We looked at the Del Sol LXI Flow 2 today and it was pretty nice. The thing is that I've never heard of Del Sol. Amazon doesn't carry any of their bikes and Google returns relatively limited search results. I can find no reviews anywhere. Does anyone have experience with Del Sol? Are they a solid name in the cycling industry?
Here's the bike:

Also, as a side topic, what's everyone's experience with regard to shopping for bikes in an actual dedicated bike shop as opposed to your average retail outlet like Amazon, Kohl's, Target, WalMart, etc? It seems that bike shops carry a lot of unusual and unheard-of brand names that typically can't be found in retail outlets. Schwinn is about the only exception to this that I have found.
