See, my experience with Halfords has been the opposite, whilst my LBS have been completely useless.
I got my LoC the other week. Called around a few Halfords near by, none had the bike in stock, however the man in the Shirley store said I should come down and they'll size me up to make sure I get the right frame. Got my bike two days later. It's been well put together and a dream to ride.
On the other hand, my previous bike which I got from my LBS (A Dawes Mojave) wasn't set up correctly at all. I'd been having massive problems with the gears and kept returning it to the shop to sort out. They'd take it out back, have a tinker and I'd cycle off. Within a day or two, the gears are slipping all over the place again. Eventually, I started looking how to set them myself and never had a problem since, that was about 6 months ago.
