Why don't QBP and JB sell direct? Is there a minimum order size for dealers?

Two local bike shops I have asked say that the usually try to meet the minimum for free shipping - a threshold that I do not think is very high - but order as often as needed from QBP which can be 1-2 a week. Last edited by NYCfixie; 02-05-2019 at 05:52 PM. |

Sure Campy has a cut of the enthusiast market, but how big is that? And with electronic shifting and disc brakes, how much of the enthusiast market does Campy have? I've 3 bikes on campy and my 3 most recent bikes are DA and 2 are Di2. I'm thinking next year I might build another...pretty sure I want electronic shifting. 11 speed etap will be on sale now that we are waiting for 12 speed etap, but R8000 is a great value...Campy EPS is suppose to be better, but where do you get it and what's it going to cost?

Too bad Charles didn’t post a PSA when Silca was up for sale!

It's common and laughable the number of times over that last couple of decades that that I hear 'Campagnolo is on the ropes!!' They sell everything they make. The 'last' time Campagnolo was really in trouble, was in the late 80s/early 90s, shortly after Valentino took over after Tullio's death(RIP Comandante)..and missed not only on MTB stuff but also not designing something that competed with STI(ERGO did, 1991/2)...

J and B is the king of low end, Wald, type stuff...I deal with J&B and they are doing just fine these days. Lots of stuff they sell, other distributors, don't. Like these.

Campy doesn’t need to be Shimano or SRAM. Just like Apple doesn’t need to be Samsung or Google.

As an aside, the Performance liquidation sale may actually be worth going to now. I stopped by my local store yesterday since I was in the neighborhood, and made a number of decent scores on odds/ends and consumables - for example, Supacaz tape for $18.
Everything 50-70% off, a lot of Nashbar labeled merchandise on the floor too. Employees I talked to expected to be locking the doors for the last time in 2-3 weeks. |
