Then it also occured to me that they always have what I am looking for (in between their stores or website) and they always match legitimate prices from elsewhere. What more can a cyclist ask for?
And I have never ever had a bad experience purchasing anything from them. I can't say the same about some of the other highfalutin bicycle stores around here.
I think Performance is a step up from a sporting goods store. I wouldn't trust the mechanics with my bikes. I have purchased from them in the past but with so many options where I live i look elsewhere. I do remember when they were only an online retailer like 25 years ago and carried good stuff.
