Metric screws/bolts
In case anyone needs any, here are two good sources. The first is a US source for many different types of screws.
Fastener Express: https://www.fastener-express.com/
The second is in the UK, and started as a place for motorcycle fittings, but they have a US website. Some really cool stuff, and some full kits for bicycle component groups.

My local True Value Hardware carries most metric bolt sizes needed on a bike.
Those are good links for when I retire and start yard sale bike wrenching full time, however.

I needed some wierd screw for my bike. It was about $15-$20 by the time I got my hands on it. It was a 5/16 X 3/4" with 28 tpi in stainless steel in a socket thead configuration. Whatever it was, it was almost impossinble to find.

I always use McMaster-Carr. I have a feeling that if they ever let me into their warehouse, they'd never get me out.

I have had consistently excellent experiences with McMaster-Carr. For the stuff I've bought (more fasteners than anything else) their prices usually are competitive for same quality/brand, shipping charges very reasonable, service great. With standard ground shipping I usually receive my order in less than 24 hours - I'm not too far from their headquarters in Illinois, but still think that's pretty impressive.
