I've always found the best deals on line at the end of season, like right about now. Try http://www.nashbar.com/ or http://www.performancebike.com/
Cogito, ergo sum
Sometimes it is that simple.

Actually, to clarify I am looking for a new bike not just the wheelsshortski wrote:I've always found the best deals on line at the end of season, like right about now. Try http://www.nashbar.com/ or http://www.performancebike.com/

Shameless plug coming up: 
It's the online places like that that are killing small shops like mine. Go easy on the references to discounters please.
Remember that if you were ever to have a warranty issue most of the bike manufacturers won't honor it unless the bike was assembled by an authorized dealer.
If I can help let me know, especially since many of the folks on here are from the NY metro area you can come pick the bikes up here and ride at the top of the hill behind the shop. There are over 20 miles of goodies to play with. :)

Pedro, where do you live? I've gotten some great deals on bike stuff at SkiBarn on 46.... this time of year and right when they bring the bike stuff out at the end of winter -- last year's stuff I guess.Pedro wrote:Looking to upgrade my wheels (mountain bike) before spring time.
