What online store do you use?

[thedirtyroger]

I know it's retro bike and it's all about second hand stuff but what online bike stores do you use?

I generally find Chainreaction quite good and wiggle is not too bad!

Any other recomendations?

BETD for bits, Edinburgh bike - especially during sales, Ribble and Merlin.

I'm using my 3 LBS's more often too, just bought ultegra sl cranks from one for £110 - that was their last pair - last years model at full price.

Cheapest I've seen up to now is 130, even mint second hand ones go for more than that on ebay. Always worth checking locals first, park tools are always cheaper at my LBS

Ribble - but its roadie oriented, so might not suit most on here. Good site, comprehansive stock, regular discounts and you can order on line, but pay by cheque. - Im too paranoid to put my card on the web ...
good turnaround too and whats showing as in stock, actually is (or has been for me). Their response to emails is poor tho', so contact by phone.

I've used most of the ones recommended above. Have also used Merlin recently who had prices on wheels with Hope hubs at a price by LBS could come nowhere near and previous years XTR as well. Wheels delivered bang on time too.

I know lots of people consider Evans a rip off but they do have lots of women's kit - not that its a concern to the vast majority of posters on this forum!

I use a variety of stores depending on who is cheapest, but probably CRC most often. try this handy link when searching for parts; it compares prices across the majority of cycle shops and shows you who sells them cheapest:

as most of my sales involve Paypants, my Retrobike budget is basically 'virtual cash' - it doesnt really exist. This limits me to buying off here or ebay.

I simply dont have any real world money to by from the LBS or on-line shops
