Yeah, I don't really have any interest in building up that specific frame above, just purely a get it because it's cheap type thing You know in case I break my frame mid ride and need to swap it out.

The big problem i've found mainly is that none of the shops really carry exactly what I want (read: obscure) and when they do it's a special order (might as well order it myself) and not necessarily cheaper than I can order it even after tax/handling/duty (if any).

I hate calling around every shop and asking if they carry this that blah blah and 90% of the time they come back and go sorry don't have.

For example no one has these: http://www.profile-design.com/2006_p.../quickstop.jpg
