While it's no great deal, at least Wal-Mart appears to be at
least
making an effort to move up-market with their offering of a 105
equipped Italian-made road bike with carbon fork and seat stays
for
around $1200.

"http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5751045"

Now we just have to figure out who's buying $1200 road bikes at
Wal-Mart. Are these professionally assembled by that high school
kid in the bike department?


I'll bet WalMart could save a lot of SKUs if they stocked
everything, not just higher-end bikes, in S/M/L sizing. Think of
how
much better use of floorspace you'd have if apparel only came in
S/M/L sizing!

Your forgot one...the sizing of XXXXXL for quite a few of the
Wally
World shoppers!!!!!


Yes, "Size 3" in the women's section is XXXL, "Size 5" is XXXXXL,
etc.

You don't have to be morbidly obese to shop at Wal-mart, but it
helps.
