I agree with scootn'. Please don't go to your local store, try on everything, then spend your money online. I mean, doing this on occasion isn't so bad. I've done it myself, I found something online but wanted to actually see it, found it in a store. Would've bought it there but they didn't have my size.

Seriously, if it's not crazy-more expensive in the store, buy it there. One--instant gratification 'cause you're going home right then with item in hand. Two--you're keeping that local store in business. If everyone goes to the local store to check out things but buys online, that local store isn't going to be there for the long run. Nobody can stay in business without customers actually spending money (instead of merely coming in to shop).

Support your locals!

It makes me sad to see you guys using a small business owner like that. If you aren't going to buy a jacket from them it seems unethical at best to go and use their stock and staff to size one then walk out the door. Either buy online or at the dealer but to use their services (the reason their prices are a little higher) and then buy from their competition to save a bit of change is messed up. Sorry but I think all this type of dealing will result in some sad faces in the future when there are no local guys because you knowingly used their time like this with out any intention of purchasing something. Shame on you and shame on you for suggesting someone else should do the same thing.

Don't overlook name brand mainstream bike dealerships either. The local Aprilia dealer is one of the largest in the nation yet their bike accesories and gear are sometime priced lower than on many internet discount sites. If you buy a bike from them they also send out managers coupons for anywhere from 10% to 50% off.

The also sell Eton and take Chinese bikes in trade.

I didn't know where this thread was going to go when I started it, but, I've learned a lot from it.
