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

Cheapest place to order online?

Hey I just found out something

Pedal force are selling their parts at a really low price actually...
Not THEIR frames but parts from Sram/shimano etc.

https://pedalforce.com/online/your_co...th=99999_77777

Main example since I am currently looking for brakes

they sell rival brakes for 80$ + shipping when everywhere else it's seems to be over 110$...

But I don't know if we actually have to order a frame or something from them to get the pieces...

Just check it out and if anyone knows of a better place, show us!

I've found that there is no one-stop-shopping place for discount bike parts. Everyone has standout sales, and you're wise to shop around. Even Ebay, which tends to have somewhat lower prices on most things--gets beat out on some items from time to time by online shops like Chainreactioncycles or PBK. Take a cue from your Mom--shop the sales.

To me, that's part of the fun of building or upgrading or stocking up on spare parts for a bike--although it's a bit frustrating to have to hit a lot of different places to get everything you want at the lowest price.

If they all took PayPal, I'd be pretty happy.

The online store that I've bought from the most is Universal Cycles. Great selection and very good prices. I've ordered there probably 12-15 times and I've never had a problem with my order. I like the way the website is laid out too.
