Whilst we're on the subject of giving wiggle a round of applause (I agree, btw - great service) imagine my surprise when i came home from work to find that my new Shimano 515s from Cyclexpress had arrived today - given that I only ordered the buggers yesterday morning - and at under £20 with free p&p you've got to be happy, innit?
That's 2 good value, good service bike stuff retailers - shame they don't do electrical goods ('Empire Direct' and 'Curry's' are euphemisms for "lady's bits" in our house).

Yes, that was my experience too.
But the future, or even the present? My LBS is imploding as we speak. Guy there (just under retiring age) had some matrimonial problems and seldom opens the door these days. It looks more like a junk shop now :-( Very desolate and bleak.
So I either have to travel miles of go a more impersonal route...like the internet.
The beauty about this kind of 'online retail' is that you're selling items that require no 'personal fit'. People know what they want and can be guaranteed it will be exactly that. If you get it right, you must surely do ok. Fair play to 'em.
