This dealership feels more like a place to hang out with a bunch of bikes than a dealership.

And this is good.

At around midnight I put in a request to test ride a bike that, as it turns out, they didn't have and won't have for quite some time. 9:15 AM the next day, Chris calls me and explains the situation, asks what it is I'm looking for in a bike, and invites me to come by and check out some bikes if I wanted to.

I showed up at noon on a beautiful late summer Saturday, and it was busy. Staff were everywhere, and I wasn't able to wander for long before being asked if I needed anything and whatnot -- but not in that pushy, Best Buy "get out of my store" kind of way.

Anyhow, I was.. a problem. I went in there not knowing really what I wanted, just had a vague idea of what I didn't like about my current bike and what I might like in others. Chris walked me around and showed me a few bikes, we talked a bit, then he asked if I wanted to go ride some. Sure, twist my arm, hahah.

Four or so bikes later I now have a much better understanding of what I like and don't like -- and it looks like the bike I originally wanted might be the ticket. We'll see.

Thanks to Moon and a big thanks to Chris for spending the time with me (a good three hours I'd say) talking about and looking at various bikes that might suit me. A+, if I ever buy a bike new this will absolutely be the place I go.

* UPDATE

I bought a bike here and was given a great, market-competitive price, and financing was at a market-competitive rate. A+.
