Lately I've been ordering parts through Amazon and Niagara Cycle, but would like some suggestions for other sites that offer quick shipping and competitive pricing.

Before anyone jumps my case for not supporting my LBS , let me just add that I use them for all major overhauls and wheel work as well as sending friends and family to them for bike purchases, etc. I've got a great relationship with them but they really aren't competitive for the small shop supplies and parts I'm looking for.

So, suggestions are welcome!
Approach that shop where you have a good relationship and see if they will sell you bulk parts at discount, like bulk cable housing and cables, bottles of ferrules and cable ends, box of kickstands, box of lubricant, etc.
