Really....
Assos F-13 S2 bib shorts;
$329+tax at LaBicletta in Toronto
$220 to my more door shipped via USPS/Can Post (includes all shipping/duty/gst/pst/brokerage fees.
4 Michelin Krylion Carbon road tires
$75 each ($300 total) at any LBS around here
$130 total to my more door shipped via USPS/Can Post (includes all shipping/duty/gst/pst/brokerage fees.
Buying stuff online is the way to go if you don't mind waiting...I'm sorry, but I can not spend $300 on tires when I can get them online for $130...I try and support the LBS's as best I can, but at times online just makes way more sense to my finances...
In the last 6 weeks I have probably saved close to $750 by buying things online...That is money I can then spend at the LBS...
