Another (new-to-me) one I'd like to add to the list is Oldham Cycle Centre: Quick despatch and some
very low prices on certain Campag items (including new Mirage Ergos).

Deeside are also good (although website doesn't always bear much resemblance to what they
actually have).

Parker Int have a huge range of (road) stuff with good prices. They need to develop more of a proper
online service, but website is very handy to use as a quick "default" price guide before browsing
elsewhere.

I've also been very impressed with Wiggle - fast service and the stock control system really helps
(they're one of the few dealers that can be trusted to have what they advertise!). Their £3.99
postage charge is offputting though.

I'd forgotten about them, but have indeed used them in the past for cheap Campag stuff.
