World Cycling Productions
I just got a catalogue from them. Now, in my mind, mail-order shopping, if nothing else, is supposed to be cheap. Not these guys: Campagnolo jerseys: $89.95 Campagnolo gloves: $49.95 Campagnolo bottle cages: Chorus $84.95, Record $119.95 (they do come with a "free" bottle). Wipperman titanium chain $369.95 Campagnolo chain tool $99.95 Now, some of the stuff was reasonably priced, but sheesh. $100 for a chain tool? $120 for a water bottle cage? $370 for a chain that would have to wear out faster than a steel one? -- David L.

Bianchis and (_)/ (_) | Colnagos are a lot cheaper than Maserattis and Ferraris. -- Glenn Davies |

These guys are located a couple of blocks from my house. Nice guys, but their business model seems to be committed to Full List Price. Their retail area is more boutique than bike shop, with a wall full of Colnagos priced commensurately with the parts you list above. Their annual warehouse sale offers pretty good deals, though. |
