Unexpected source of Swiss Stop pads

[Veloo]

I haven't seen too many places carrying the green GHP pads for Campy brakes so when I came across this as I was casually browsing, I was pretty surprised.

Did they or will they ever have them available?

That's bizarre. Maybe there's a cyclist at HQ in Bentonville...

Looks like they're trying an Amazon like model? The "seller" is "BikeSomewhere"..

Like Amazon, Walmart acts as a listing site for other sellers. Note the "sold by: bikesomewhere"

Edit: beat to it.

They're trying very hard to get into the "mass" e-tail biz with Amazon as their role model. How well they do and how long they last in it, time will tell. Their customer base for this isn't very big beyond their "normal" customers.

^^ Right? Off the back and lapped on that idea.

I've noticed that Sears also often appears when internet searching for more esoteric bike stuff and assumed as above that they were copying the Amazon model of hosting third party sellers.
