Kick Ass Stores!

Hey Guys

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any really cool cycling stores in other E.U. countires?
e.g. Fance, Spain, Italy, Germany etc etc...

Any help would be fantastic!

Europe isn't exactly the cheapest place to buy bike parts:

Ireland:
www.totalcycling.com

USA -these are the best places to order from, but make sure they ship with USPS not UPS or DHL:
www.excelsports.com
www.nashbar.com
www.performancebike.com
www.competitivecyclist.com
www.jensonusa.com
www.biketiresdirect.com
www.pricepoint.com
www.coloradocyclist.com

Here's an overkill of US links:
http://www.road2moab.com/bikelinks.htm

Small parts:
http://www.biketoolsetc.com/index.cgi?h ... op_ten&id=
http://www.loosescrews.com/index.cgi
Both offer great selections and excellent service

ColoradoCyclist, Excelsports, and JensonUSA generally have the best prices.
Stay away from Performance (they also own Nashbar & Supergo) shipping may take a month or two even in the US....tracking the shippment is fun...it makes a world tour.

For shopping the best prices in the US:
http://comparisonpricing.com/ (this site will give you the lowest price on major components, such as Campy, Shimano, etc.)
http://www.bestwebbuys.com/bikes/index.html (search for a particular Brand item...)

http://velogear.com/ (Great site for apparel and excellent selection of training books, dvd, calendars, etc.)

Be afraid of what you ask for, you may just get it :shock:
