Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Parker International - Anyone Order From Them ?

I came across Parker International as another UK seller with good prices. They also seem to have what I want in stock !! (Or else they don't keep track of inventory with their bare bones website)

Anyway, I can't find much info and was wondering if anyone else has experience with them.

I have their web page bookmarked. I have thought about ordering from them too so I would be interested in others experiences as well.

They're okay, nothing more. They don't seem to try to compete on price with the other big-name UK retailers. I bought a saddle from them. It turned up. Price was nothing special. Shipping was high I thought. Good range and stock levels though.

I emailed them yesterday about cassette inventory and they replied: "Sorry but we don`t ship hardware to the USA."

Waiting to hear what they do ship to the US, but I'll probably scratch them off my list.
