CRC's Pretty good.

Shippings about 1-2 weeks. I got my crankset from there, just make sure you dont ship with UPS, they suck.
Check out wiggle.co.uk too, they have free shipping and its pretty good too.

CRC in my experience is quite bad, bumbling sales reps and a few things you have to beware of. They made a few mistakes too, shipped to the other side of the world of course...

Having said that, they are very cheap, and thats why I'll buy through them again.

Ever tried making a good customer relation with a bike shop before???? Go about it the right way and things are just as cheap from them as it is off the net, would i be correct in saying you prob get your LBS to install your internet purchase? As everyone has heard before, buying from the internet is undermining LBS's, these guys rely on customers buying their products to stay open, how can bike shops stay a viable business when people shop online.....? Then there are a select few who then rant on that there isn't enough bike shop representation at races, events etc.... Any wonder when they dont have local support from riders......

Thats my little bit about online shopping!
Some people are like Slinkies. They serve no useful purpose, but they're fun to push down the stairs.
