Universal Cycles, biketiresdirect, Jenson, Excel Sports, to name a few. I've gradually built up a stock of common parts (cables, housings, brake pads, tires) -- by the time I buy a year's supply, it's cheaper to buy in bulk and I've saved next year's shipping.

If the 100 year old local hardware store doesn't have what I need, or I want it in stainless, Fastenal usually does and it's another four mile ride there. Cable ends are one of the things I've bought in bulk -- it takes a while to use up 25 or 100.
