I know some think I should be shopping at my LBS but there are a few problems with that. I need to buy too much stuff between our fit studio, BikeEd Classes, and Coaching and being a dealer for a certain brand of custom bikes. My BikeEd people have very limited budgets but need safe bikes. At the moment I need 2 full groupsets and a few other items. Where do you shop online and get treated well enough plus get good prices?

Licktons gets most of my online business now.
Good, sometimes great prices and excellent service.

Lickton's has a price matching policy, too, don't they ? (I know they used to)

gvhbikes.com sells kits (wheels, seats, posts + groupo) for very good prices. They'll build up the frame for you for an additional fee of $75 above the kit price. Example:
SRAM Rival: $1074
Campy Centaur $1390
Shimano Ultegra $1306
Shimano 105 $966

No taxes if you don't live in Oregon.

He did a nice job on my brothers Torelli frame and you can customize your build to your hearts extent and change any component.

Cheers,

Kane

Why are you buying at retail? You're in the business, fit studio and a dealer for a certain custom bike, why don't you have an account with QBP, J&B or any of the other wholesalers?
