Price Point and Performance Bike have a good selection and Price Point guarantees the lowest price around.

Supergo and Jenson USA both offer competitive prices on mail-order bike stuff.

A bicycle is worth $6,000.00 when someone will pay that much for it.

There are frames alone that cost 6k, supergo has a felt bike that is $6899. Colorado Cyclist does have good prices on some things, and I always been a good experience when I have bought from them.

I've found Jensonusa.com to be the cheapest place around for most things. They do have a limited selection of certain things at some times, though. I've found the same thing to be true of price point. Supergo has never really blown me waway with prices or selection. Performance won't have the best deals around all the time, but their sales are usually decent, and they have one of the bigger selections by far. I was also very pleased with Performance's customer service when I recieved something that was missing a part. They took it back without question and I recieved a complete version very quickly with their apologies. I go to Cambriabike for harder-to-find tools. They seem to have everything imaginable in the way of tools, though their components seem overpriced. I've ordered stuff from Performance, Jenson, PricePoint, Supergo, and Cambriabike.

There are also places like Wheelworld and Bikeworld, neither of which I have ordered from. I've order from Colorado Cyclist once, and found them to be quick on delivery, though they aren't the cheapest place around.

Supergo has some good deals sometimes, I shop their alot because it is also one of my LBS. Jenson I have found has great deals, very good customer service, and ship quickly!

I really dont' care for cambria, I don't think I've ever made a order their without something being Backordered, and not finding out till I received it at my house.

Anyone get Velotique? It's a canadian catalogue, which we get because we bought one item from them. Their stuff is nice and high quality (also a tad pricey), but the funniest thing about it is the owners. They're a husband and wife team, in their 50s I guess, and they are two of the most unattractive human beings I have ever seen. Unfortunately, they insist on not only putting their ugly mugs on the cover, but in various spots throughout the catalogue, in a number of goofy, supposedly fun-loving poses that make them look even MORE unattractive. I am sure they are nice folks, but yeeech. I guess it's cheaper than using models, and they probably want to show that you don't have to look like Lance Armstrong or Jan Ullrich or whatever to wear that stuff. They sell these 'canada' jerseys which are actually pretty cool, but the only cyclists I ever see wearing them are chubby older guys with fat stomachs, so I am a bit reluctant to get one. They're also a bit expensive. They also make the mistake of modeling those jerseys themselves, which doesn't help.

Excel Sports Boulder consistently has one of the best looking catalogs out. Great photography, full product info and run by cyclists.

It's available for download at their website.
