    Online Bike Shops

    What are some good shops online that I can go browse. I had one saved to favorites that I found here, but my PC went south. This one carried more of the higher-end MTB stuff. Any ideas?

    Univeral Cycles hooked me up with a good deal on my build kit last spring. Great selection and service.

    Go to roadbikereview.com and check their forums to get coupons, too. Supergo, performance, jesnson, and a few others always have 20% off coupons.

    I agree on the LBS, just looking to BROWSE. My closest LBS is an hour away.

    DO NOT use airbomb.com

    Beyondbikes.com is really good.

    You know, I'd love to, but everytime I go in the one near me that has the best reputation, I have more of a problem supporting them. Last time, I took my bike in to have the cassette & chain replaced and just sorta tuned up (at the time, I didn't have the free time to do it myself), and when I picked it up, as I was loading it in my truck, the handlebars twisted about 90 degrees when I grabbed them. I bring it back in and the shop owner gets out his allen wrench and tightens those bolts and goes back over about half the bolts on the bike. [/rant]

    But otherwise, if you've got a place worth supporting, definitely support them.

    Funny that you mention that. Stem tightening seems to be verboten at bike shops these days, as I got my hardtail back from a shop, took it off a little jump in the backyard and watched the handlebars swing around freely upon landing. Suffice to say, I crashed.

    I agree - I browse most of thes online "shops" at work all the time, just like I browse online ski shops too. I bought something from Jenson once, and it looked like they threw it in an old box, closed it with scotch tape and sent it via tow truck. It was cheap though. (shrug).

    As for "supporting you local independent bike shop," well.... you're supporting mine in this case, so you can take solace in that. There are indeed real and wonderful people in Bath, ME who work there.
