A good point. During my seven years in a bike shop, my boss would contract to build up the Christmas bikes from several of the "department stores". How the mechanics hated to see those come in! It was at best a losing proposition as it took literally hours to make those things work even though they were new, out of the box. It really made you appreciate the Schwinns and the quality imports.
