There is a new Performance store moving in right across the freeway from
my office. Should I be happy? |

The best equipped LBS is 10 miles from me. REI is about 7 miles away. There's a great little shop about 3 miles from me where I take repairs I can't do or don't have time to do myself. Went in there last week looking for a couple of 700 X 23C presta tubes and they were out. They are nice folks, so I came back again on the weekend and picked them up. I probably won't change the way I do things very much. |

... There is a new Performance store moving in right across the freeway from my office. Should I be happy? Is it replacing a strip club? |

It's not so much overpriced as they just don't carry anything I want usually. They're very oriented to the weekend cyclist. A lot of the gear and bits and bobs I want, they just don't carry. -- Dane Buson - It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people.

Ridiculous on two counts: A) They have true "mail order" prices, with many sale items; and B) OP asked about their brick and mortar stores, which price match any item from any valid source. I'm no huge PBS fan (just canceled my Team membership after 4-5 years), but they do have lots of good deals on lots of products. |

However, they are great for commodity items. Last month I bought 50 tubes for $100 deals like this are not uncommon. You could always get the deal on line but the store will match any of thier on line prices and sometimes it is nice to just go in and pick it up. |

Plus, they have a 100% guarantee, so if it doesn't work a few months out, you can return it. |

The store near me doesn't have much in the way of mechanics--I've heard them refer customers to another one of their stores in the area for service--but it's a fine place to buy parts, etc. -- Ben Pfaff http://benpfaff.org |
