Where do you shop for gear? (Slightly OT)

Here's my list of online vendors I bounce between when shopping, some more than others. I like to support local shops but I'm not a rich person. I don't mind a 10-20% markup, but sometimes I can get stuff of half-price online. That's hard to ignore. Bikes I buy in local shops.

Any consistently good deals I'm missing?

    A pretty through list, including some I've never seen. Thanks.

    I've also bought some stuff from The Clymb, a "Flash Sale" site. http://www.theclymb.com/invite-from/egstillman

    Disclosure-I get a credit for 1st time customers that go through that invite link.

    For sure! Last week I was in a shop, and told the guy I was looking for new shoes, wanted the best, but was cheap.

    He dug out a pair of 2011 S-Works and sold them to me for $170!

    I've bought from both ribble and chainreaction....amazing that I can buy tires, have them shipped to me (UK to Canada) and they're still half the price local shops sell them for.

    Bikes & big ticket items (or stuff that needs to be tried on for fit) gets bought locally. I try to support local businesses as much as possible.
