Who knows, you might find 2 shops you are comfortable with, and you will make your decision based on the bike and not the shop.
I don't think he said he was doing that, did he?
Also, 5 years is not a long enough warranty.

I am trying to decide between Bikes. I have narrowed the search down to 4 bikes offered by a local dealer I feel comfortable with.
As for the guys telling you to check out other bikes, I have to respectfully disagree. If you're happy with your shop and these are the bikes they offer, stick with them. IMO it's pretty goddamn hard to find a shop you really love and if you've found that go with what they offer, especially since they offer good brands for you to choose from.
Basically, the above says purchase from the shop you feel comfortable with, and it limits you to the brands they carry.I am total agreence that you if you are happy with your bike shop dont go anywhere else. And it seems like you are so take the next bit of adivce even less than the above
Speaks for itself.You are buying a bike, not a bike shop. For me the shop is a secondary issue.
I can't disagree about the bike shop but at the same time my point is that most of these bikes are going to do the job just fine, in which case the shop becomes much more of a consideration.
Basically, this says if you are going to purchase your bike based on being comfortable with a shop (as suggested above), do yourself a favor and check out another shop.Again, I suggest you look around, it is always better to have options.

Yes I do, and in order of priority:Wow you have issues. talk to you at 2
Hmm,
Well I didn't realize shop choice was such a HUGE factor. I have visited several "shops" in my area. Other than Beachwood Bikes, every other shop didn't cary much. Two of them didn;t have mountain bikes, and the 3rd one had 1 FS bike, which was a lower end than what I was looking to buy.
If you can reccoment other shops close to Barnegat by all means please do. Looking at the Shop locator section, I did not see much around my area.
