  1. If you have a local shop, you should be supporting them! Check to see
    if they will match prices on the things you are trying to buy online.
    I know that here at Ultimate Sports, we will try to match any price
    that people can bring us. Check out our webpage and support your own
    local shop (if you are in Western Pennsylvania, stop by!)

    If you're ever in the area, stop by and say 'hi'! That's what bike
    shops are really about.

    My local shop generally can't beat the base price, but can usually beat
    the price + shipping cost for many of the accessories I've bought from
    them.

    in the store marked Campagnolo . . .

    Why reduce the low margin you already use?
    Why make bike things a matter of price instead of service and knowledge?
    There is no reason to 'support your local bike shop' if that shop is just a
    delivery place for parts and not a source for good information and expert
    service.
