Nashbar vs Performance

[rwsaunders]

Does Nashbar's webmeister track Performance's website or does Performance's webmeister track Nashbar's website? It seems that they are often running the same promotions to me. Hmmmmmm.

They are owned by the same parent company...

Performance and Nashbar are now the same company (they also bought out supergo, but shut down that brand).

They seem to keep some different flavors:

Performance
- Members club with 10% discount
- More race oriented, less do-it-yourself

Nashbar
- Mail order only
- Lot's of old stock warehouse clearout (e.g. specialized front hubs)


But my favorite site for stuff I actually need is

www.biketoolsetc.com

Nashbar is generally the 'low-end' Performance. Performance has/is trying to position itself as a standard, medium-higher end company, though I don't think it's succeeded in doing that yet. When you visit a B&M Performance store, the perception of a high-quality environment isn't there.

Thanks for clearing the air.
