Online cycling shopping

There are some things you really need to buy from a bricks and mortar shop (or whatever they are made of), but there are some very good deals online for those of you prepared to buy online.

The ones used by local riders include:
  • Chain Reaction Cycles (http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/). Very good range, but not always in stock. Very useful rating from buyer feedback. Based in the UK. Prices of most things are very competitive landed in Australia.
  •  Wiggles (http://www.wiggle.co.uk/). Good range, good feedback rating system. Based in the UK. Prices of most things are very competitive landed in Australia.
  • Cell Bikes (http://www.cellbikes.com.au/). Range is a bit limited. Feedback is very limited on most items. Based in Australia. Their discounts and low price specials are very good value. Their Cell Bike brand bike clothing is as cheap as you will get anywhere. I have bought a few tops ($20-24) and bib-knicks ($39?) from them recently, and they are quite good.
  • SBS Cycling Central Shop (http://cyclingcentralshop.com.au/index.html). Has a wonderful range of retro and other design cycling gear (especially the tops). Quality is good. Prices are high. There is no feedback rating. Based in Australia.
If you know of others, post them here or leave comments below. Also, we could start posting our own reviews of gear here, and any secondhand bike bits for sale locally.
