Monday, I walked into my nearest LBS who is a Specialized dealer in a posh
neighborhood and ordered an S-Works frame. This is the same LBS that I had
previously bought an almost $4K mtn. bike from in the past. Of course, they
had no idea who I was and haven't for a long time. Of course, in three
months time they will no longer remember me. Of course they are d*ckheads
unless you are getting ready to plop down big money on a bike or frame. Of
course their prices are much too high (often over MSRP).

If all the above is true- no regard for customers except as a source of
immediate and substantial profit, arrogant attitude, and overpriced- why the
hell did you buy a bike there? Since you had to *order* it you seem to lack
even the excuse of "wanting it NOW!".
