I shot Sheldon an email last night about, among other things, ordering from Harris. Does anyone here have any experience with Harris?
And I'm starting to go against my beliefs and thinking of eBay...Not for the bike, but cogs, etc.

My current situation (my problem 100%, not Harris) is I want to order a $6 kool-stop salmon brake pad, but don't want to spend additinal $8 shipping, so I have been trying to figure out what else to put in the order to make it worth it.
Remember you need tools to install cogs and lockrings too. Often an LBS that doesn't stock parts can order them for you and you don't pay shipping - much of this stuff in in the Qualtiy Bike Product catalog.

i emailed him about a bottom bracket and sho nuff sheldon wrote back with my answer. i think it took a few days to get the response. i also ordered a few things from them and got it in pretty short order. Business Cyles is also a great resource for fixed stuff.
