the cheapest source for phil hubs is to get a job at a bike store and buy them under employee purchase. Even then the bastards are expensive as hell, and worth every penny.
Seriously though, if you can find chrome street hubs for under $290, grab them. Less than $310 for the black pair is a good deal.
happy hunting.

But yeah, working at a shop and getting them at cost would be the cheapest. I hate working at a shop cause I end up spending more than I make. I'll eventually have everything I want and won't have to buy anything anymore right?

seems like for many bike products you can get it on ebay for pretty close to wholesale. i know this isn't the case for more specialty items like phil wood, and chris king. just sayin'.

Roger was cool, at World Class, just put an order through yesterday. He said they were gonna update the site, so I wanted my Suzue's at the web price. He's quick on the email, and the order was shipped off later that day.
