Hello all. Could any one tell me a decent USA based website for bike bits? My sister lives over there but is coming home at Christmas so it could be a good time to get a few bits cheap. 😉

When ever I have a look the results are not up to much so what am I missing? Any help would be great.

Jenson USA - sale sections can have some proper bargains.

Universal Cycles - Sign up for news letters for coupons usually 15% off each month when you spend a certain amount
Only issue is your sister will have to buy with US card as if you pay with non us card you have to collect from portland store

Cambria Bikes

Beyond Bikes

But unless you are buying stuff made in USA i.e. Fox, CK etc you will find most stuff is more expensive in USA than Wiggle , CR etc

In fact my mates out there buy most of their bike bits from ChainReaction ...

This is sadly correct imo

You can try Blue Sky Cycling and Tree Fort Bikes too. They're ok on some things.

I second most of the above, but I'd add [url= http://www.bikebling.com/ ]BikeBling[/url] as well.

Also, don't forget ebay and Amazon.

Thanks for the advise. It'll be a Thomson dropper I'm after so I'll check the sites.

Google shopping is your friend for something like that. And some of the online sites listed above do a price match...

Thanks Joe. Amazon turned one up for £213 so that's a good start!
