How right you are. Here in California everything is selling slowly. However service is up as people are keeping thier old bikes. If the local bike shops survive here, it will be on service revenue. Just today as I was picking chainrings, talk of the rising stock market, warmer weather, and rising oil prices the service manager of my LBS is optomistic that sales will pick up soon.

So it is no surprise that Iron Horse is on the ropes. Hope not a total bust.
