Hey BikeWebSite
Mail Folks,
For the sake of cleaning up my coupon page,
I have decided to pull Nashbar/Performance (Same Company). I've been comparing prices across the best Online
Cycling Companies and have come to a couple of conclusions: Nashbar/Performance
(The Big 2) Are not the best place to buy for either Service Or Price!
Check the following:

Jenson 223.99- Will Price Match
Notes: JensonUSA: #1 Service on the web, A quick form to price match anything, even
w/coupons. Fast shipping. Price Point: Best prices often on discounted items and sales. Will Price Match,
30 Day Low Price Guarantee. REI: Occasional sales that have outstanding prices.
Cambria Bike: Very often the lowest price, offers an instant "price smash" to go
5% under the lowest
price offered by others.
Nashbar/Performance: Frequent 10% Off coupons. (with coupon
they are still higher then
others)
Conclusions: All
these excellent Companies beat Nashbar/Performance 100% (as of 4/5/07 from what
I could find) of the time even with
10% Coupons in both Service and Price, So I don't feel it's best to continue the
effort it takes to keep up with them., Carl
