FOCUS IZALCO MAX DISC DURA ACE ROAD
Hi - anyone know much about FOCUS bikes. I am looking at one in size 56cm. Its 2016 closeout with DISC Brakes. I am also told DISC is the way to go. I currently use calipers/rim brakes and am looking to upgrade both my bike and groupset.

NYCC Outreach Update
Hello,
I would like to offer a quick update regarding NYCC's outreach efforts.

What do we owe our local bike shops in the internet age?
Looking for opinions:
I'm building up a bike. (Yay!) Can source most of the components online for cheaper than a bike store can sell them to me. More than one bike shop has now told me that it is hard for them to compete with the prices I can buy these components for. More than one has also told me that it is not thrilling to them to have customers buy groupsets off the internet rather than getting them through them.
