Merry Christmas LBS
I took my bike in for service on Saturday, and they did a lot of work for me and discounted some of the parts and labor for me. I try and do this right before Christmas, to give them a little business before Christmas, and to also drop off some 12 oz. presents. This year has been a very poor year for me, but here is what they received from me yesterday.

First off I have been trying to figure out where/how to get fat tire down here in FL since I moved back from AR. I went to a place last night that has 32 beers on tap and over 300 bottles and that didn't have anything by new belgium. 
My shop has a new owner, and they have been doing a lot of remodeling. I offered to do some remodeling work for them, so they have me working up a bid for a few things right now.... I would call that something good for both of us.

Is it any good, or is it just 'cute'?

I've ordered a bunch of stuff, that they've since forgotten about, that I'll end up getting online anyway.

With the amount of money I spend at my LBS, I'm thinking that they should buy ME a Christmas gift!

Pizza and beer. And they got to watch me build myself a wheel, which provided as much amusement as the food and drink.

I agree, but I also bought some stuff on-line, because my LBS is over an hour from my town to theirs. But, they are the only LBS that treated me like a person, so they got all of my business. I think if the others would have known that I also sent four other people to the other LBS to buy bikes, parts and service, maybe they wouldn't have treated me crappy. So, they treated me good, so I am trying to do the same.
