LBS vs discount prices

[KnottedYet]

I buy a lot of stuff right here at teamestrogen.com

(thank you, Susan!)

Great customer service! You can call and ask them to measure an item for you (like my favorite: will it fit my huge butt?) and the returns are easy easy easy to handle. I've never had a bad experience.

Tulip-yup, you've made a good impression on this URP student

We shop at two bike shops in Perth & they know us very well. (we once joked that some of our pay should go to them monthly.. ). HOwever, sometimes suppliers can't get the items to the shops for some odd reason & that the quickest way to get them is online.

There's one exception...SIDI"s-%*%*%**% Perth bike shops never carry a size 38.5 plus they rarely have XS mtb's grrr..

Good thing for TE! Oh & the AWESOME AUS-US $$ exchange rate atm (keep going up pleeeease!!!)
