Window shopping

To Still Road, 50 km. I visit three bikeshops today, looking for frames. There aren't many exotic frames about but those I see are nice and have nice price tags too. It's interesting is how quotes vary from shop to shop. Labour costs range from $0 to $60. Cable prices vary as much as three times. All in all, it'll cost between $200 - $400 on top of the price of the frame, for headset, seatpost ... some of which are thrown in free. Of course the $400 tag is quoted by the shop that charges for everything. Still, I learn something from that bikeshop man; he says my current bicycle is in "racing" position.
