  1. Is there a good online bike store with a large selection of parts?

    No, it probably wouldn't work. I think cyclists are the type who like to walk into a shop, talk a
    little to the owner, and then buy the parts they need.

    Online? As in buying from a computer? What's next, online dating? Come on, man. :-)

    P.S. There are tons of online bike stores and you can find every single significant one in the
    Yahoo.com bicycle directory.

  3. Type:

    "bicycle shop free shipping".

    Bought a frame pump that and shipping costs were almost as much as the pump's price.

    Sure there are many. IMHO online shopping is suitable way for buying components you think you can buy without thoroughly testing them first. Of course, it might not be sensible to e.g. order shoes and other apparel that has to fit more or less perfectly (I've even ordered shoes). Obviously enough, fitting and testing can be done in a local bike store.

    You might not want to order single, inexpensive parts, like pumps, from webstores because of the shipping charges. Also, it depends where you live in. European orders from US-based stores easily become quite pricey.

    Just to mention one store: Chain Reaction Cycles (UK).

  5. No one seems to want to give you a straight answer so here goes...

    performancebike.comperformancebike.com bikenashbar.combikenashbar.com coloradocyclist.comcoloradocyclist.com

    There are probably others...

    I guess you're probably not a Swedish speaker, but in cae you are, here's a very good Swedish online store:

  14. I have had several excellent experiences with both Nashbar and Performance.

    I agree! Last week I placed an order from Nashbar on Monday evening which was shipped 2nd day air. I received it Thursday afternoon as promised! The Savings on sale items more than outweighed the shipping costs.

    Shoes: Were $111, paid $60= -$51
    Computer: Was $50, paid $25= - 25
    Helmet: Was $40, paid $18= - 22
    ____
    Savings: -$98
    Less Shipping: 9
    ____
    Total Savings: -$89!

    All of the above items were available at various LBSs but at full retail.

    If you do your due diligence, and do some comparison shopping on shopping can be, surprisingly, very economical.

  16. also...if you're looking for cheap pro gear check;

    www.probikekit.com

    by far the cheapest source for genuine pro kits
