Quoted message said:Mike Jacoubowsky said:Performance, on the other hand, markets itself as a full-on retail
bicycle shop, with excellent service etc. The degree to which they
succeed varies widely by location, with many generating a lot of
complaints. Not to say that the normal LBS doesn't have issues as well,
but Performance seems to miss the mark in terms of expectation vs
delivery. Underperforming expecations.Yeah, but they got more parking space than you do...
🙂Quoted message said:I was almost positive that they'd re-brand Performance stores as Supergo,
and take it from there. Obviously, I was completely wrong. They must know
what they're doing, but darned if I can figure it out...My limited exposure to Supergo led me to believe they were the Big Lots of
the bicycle world. You might be able to score a killer deal, or they
wouldn't have what you wanted.Performance has their house brands, and it's nice to pick up a jersey for
$20-25, vs. the name-brand $60-85. I think this (Performance brand) is
their niche. Otherwise, they have limited selection and high prices (by
mail order standards).
I have worn a lot of Performance clothing. It works. The prices are very low
for their house brand. I used a pair of Performance MTB shoes for TEN YEARS
before the sole finally separated.
