On the plus side:
As my local sports superstores dont sell anything I want, and my LBS is run by rude and arrogant staff/owners. I had to go out and learn to maintain my bike, myself. I then decided to build my own bikes from now on, and source the parts myself.
I now have a serious bike habit though, so not a real plus. Infact if I had spent a few hundred having other people service my bike, I would'nt of ended up spending thousands on parts ;)
