I tried to support my local business but it is outrageous imo. Not a bike but related as far as components.
I needed a rim to build a new wheel. The rim was $80, my local shop did not carry it but said they could order it for me.
$80 rim
$15 shipping
$10 service fee................$105
I went online, found a good sale (same exact rim) and payed $60 shipped.
I wonder if they would charge a shipping fee for a bike as well?!
It pays to roll your own!
