Re: [Low_Country_Fat_Tire_Freaks] Re: Trek Bicycle Store of Mount Plea sant

That's too bad Trek is doing this in the local market.  They opened a "Concept Store" in St Louis, but let the LBS's keep their franchises (so I am surprised by their action)..  I have a feeling they will be geared toward roadies (just like the LBS's in the Chas area).   Andy

Just to let you know that Trek dropped the the local shops. They pulled out of The Bicycle Shoppe and Mike's Bikes(gary fisher). I am not happy with TREK Corp. The local shops have supported trek for a number of years and they decided to pull out for someone that wanted to open a corporate store.  They would like for you to be loyal to their brand but they are not loyal to the shops that have supported them for years. I have been in the business for quite a while and even worked for The Bicycle Shoppe. Even though I am not affiliated with either shop I feel there has been some sort of injustice. I do not know the people who work for the trek store and mean no animosity towards them personally, I am sure they are good people. I have debated on whether to send this due to karma reasons. I have started my own Shop out of my home, and hope to have a store in the future. I know most people on this group have a shop they prefer and I hope you continue to support them.

Guys one thing that you have to remember is that they are a dealership. So if you want a mountain bike you can always order it through them. It doesn't have to...

I agree with you for the most part. Just not agreeing with their business decisions / ethics. Hopefully it will all work out for the best for everyone. See you...
