Dirtgrinder.. Yes, I have always taken my bikes to the Carlsbad Performance. Nearby, is a Supergo. So the Carlsbad Performance is closing down. I am effected because the Carlsbad Performance had a top notch Mechanic very well respected by all. He is being relocated to Performance's Escondido store- so I am content.. If they hadn't kept this Mechanic- I would have been through with Performance..
Performance runs Nashbar also.. Will this result in higher prices and fewer sales.. Don't understand the marketing of bikes.. Performance does not handle, like Cannondale bikes. Cannondale will not sell to Performance persae.. Yet, if the old store formerly under ownership seperate of Performance- Cannondale will contiue to market their bikes- but Not with Performance as a whole? I like Performance- but seems the variety of bikes they mraket is too limited..
Supergo- I never liked the place. Good variety of bikes- but high pressure sales tactics. If not for being the sole marketer of Specialized Armadillo Tires, I would never enter the joint...
