retail web sites
What is your favorite web site for ordering bike supplies and accesories? I have been looking at Pricepoint, Nashbar, and Supergo, among others. I seem to like Nashbar the best. I haven't ordered any cycling related things from the net yet though.

Pricepoint, Speedgoat, Airborne....since I started working in a shop, I've been buying most of my stuff there, so I've been a little out of touch, but those three stick out in my mind!

My favorite is Jensonusa.com. I have also ordered from Performancebike.com, though I have found the Nashbar and Performance seem a little pricier on most things unless they are having a sale. Either way, I still prefer to buy from my LBS.

That's what I get for jumping to conclusions. I know about Canadian postal codes too. Just didn't look. I saw Ontario and and didn't even look at the rest of the address. The power of suggestion wins again.

Ahhh, good call about the Ontario codes... all I know is when I was tracking the package with FedEx, it said Ontario... so for some reason I assumed Canada.. we all know what happens when you assume Thanks for the clarification!
Thanks for the clarification!

If you go with retailers in the UK and you reside outside of that country be sure that they exclude their VAT on your purchases. Some of the UK retail websites are not set up to do this.
www.cyclesmart.co.uk Cycle Mart is one of those. Their prices are quite good, as is their shipping fees. Unfortunately, their site is not yet set up to deal with the VAT issue. They indicated that their next upgrades will deal with this.

You may want to check out www.phkbicycles.com ? This site is brand new. I sell everything from bmx, mtb, and road. I am always posting items, so your ideas could help me out.
I am a independent shop which puts the rider first. If your looking for a item, give me a call. You will always speak to me, not a selection of telephone sales people.
