Hey Gang,
In this world of ordertakers who don't know the products, or people who's only job is to get your money from you, I have to tell you about my experence today. I'm looking for a set of Racks and Panniers, and I recall someone here posting a link for
The Touring Store . Wayne runs pretty much a 1 man operation, will talk your ear off with suggestions, has no hesitation if you need something he doesn't have to recommend where to find it. He has the Lone Peak and Ortleib Bags, and Tubus racks, excellent prices, is is straight up with you.
I ended up getting racks and panners from him, the price is more than fair, the advice is priceless. One warning, don't call him if you've only got 5 minutes between meetings to do business, he really believes in making sure that you get what will best fit your needs. He is also having some issues with his 800 number provider, so if you get told the call can't be completed, or some quick beeps, just try again in a few minutes.
