Bulldog Mini at LBS in NYC?
Does anyone know of any bike shops in New York that sell the Onguard Bulldog Mini? And if so is it available for around $20 like I have seen it advertised online? I am also considering the OnGuard Mastiff Bike Chain with Lock 5022D because it seems comparable to the Kryptonite chain but is available for $20 from bikesomewhere.com. Does anyone have any input on either of these items? I would rather purchase them at an LBS cause I would prefer to have them immediately rather have to wait for shipping, but if they are a lot more expensive in store I will just order them.

I doubt you'll find anything in a NYC LBS comparable to the prices you see online, In fact, you'd probably be lucky to find a blinky in the City for $20.

I just went ahead and ordered it from bikesomewhere. I have heard some bad things about them though so we will see how it goes.

Bicycle Habitat seems to charge $5 above list for small items and $10 or more on more expensive items like tires. Worse part is, you can never count on any of these shops having any particular item in stock. About a month ago I needed a new set of Armadillos and wound up going to five bike shops before I found a pair of 700x25. So unless you absolutely have to have it today you're better off ordering online.

Also re: Bicycle Habitat - if you join Transportation Alternatives you get a $30 discount there on Kryptonite Locks. Unfortunately, they jack their price for the NY chain lock up to $130 to accomodate it...
I find that NYC LBS generally have high prices and you can find most items online for a cheaper price. Once in awhile you do find the odd deal (I got Continental Ultra Gatorskins at R&A for a good price) but mostly not. |
