I have had good experience with them. About 3 weeks to deliver to Perth. Sheldon Brown could be taken to be their 'internet face' and you will see people posting (positive comments) about buying from Sheldon Brown when to be technically correct they bought from Harris Cyclery.suzyj said:Coppershark wrote:

I've used them a few times. They're very reliable, and have a wonderful stock of often hard to get stuff. Sheldon Brown works for them, and is one of the most helpful and knowledgeable guys ever to use the internet.
They usually take 3 weeks or so from placing the order to getting the gear.
Cheers,
Suzy
PS: I can also highly recommend Business Cycles (John Dacey) and Vecchios (Peter Chisholm).

Ah. I might have to wait around til a bunch of other melbournites
want to grab some pads -- $100 minimum order fee, and $35 shipping.
Er. $US.
Pipe up anyone, if you are interested. All but one of you missed out
on your chance of getting a PBK order in with me

I'm piping up - looking for a French track lock-ring and I suspect Harris may well be the place.

It's not difficult to do a bit of searching on the 'net to compare
prices. It's pointless ordering much less than $100 worth of stuff
because the postage cost will be $30 to $40 minimum so you may as well
order a shixload of stuff to average out the costs. It's just a simple
process of doing the maths.
