Online retailers

Red.Devil.Ghost

I'm about to rebuild a couple of bikes so will spend some time trawling the clearance sections of a few online retailers. Does anyone have any good recommendations? I have a few, some I knew, some found from Google. Wondering if there any lesser known sites that prove to be useful. Thanks.

If you list those you know, people can mention those you don't.

So far I have:
Wiggle
CRC
Evans
Merlin
Tredz
Ribble
Decathlon
TheBikeFactory
JEJames
Global Bike
WinstanleyBikes

Some I've never heard of, but they came up I. Search results so made a note to check them out. There is obviously eBay as well.

JEJames a friend of mine has had some bad experience of these so I've avoided them. I tend to use crc, merlin or ebay for bike parts.

Oh I've recently bought some new tyres from tweekscycles they were good and my order came quickly.

If your unsure of a site check them out on sites like trust pilot

Can only speak as I find but bought 2 bikes of JE James and they have arrived quickly with no problems, never had a warranty claim so don't know about side of things.

You have most of the main protagonists.

I would add:

www.bike-discount.de
AlpineTrek
Mantel
Probikekit
Tweeks

Whatever you do avoid this lot

https://www.acycles.co.uk/

Look like a UK site, priced in Pounds, based in France, and totally rubbish.

And anything with Marc Anthony as the owner.

Others I've used with no problems.

Used all of those except TheBikeFactory and Global Bike. Never had any problems, but rarely do.

Use Paypal and even if they are a bit sh1t most things get sorted.

https://www.bike-discount.de worth a look too, just bought a new frame from them, £25 delivery, took just over a week to arrive but competitive prices.

Not mainstream products but worth a look when you know what you want.

Ebay of course!

Superstar kevlar brake pads are still the best IMHO, but now they are concentrating on making stuff, they don't have any in my (common) size.

Which is a bugger.
