>>1319260Generalist LBSes typically only stock bikes from one brand (in a QBP shop's case you can treat Surly, All City, and Salsa as one brand) because they get a deeper wholesale discount. Sometimes they'll offer shit like Soma framesets and builds, but that's rare. If they were to start rolling their own store-brand bikes with generic Chinese garbon, they'd make their patron company incredibly mad. Also, anyone who wants Ti knows that if you go that route, you need to know the company and if possible the welder.
