Uh, yeah. They are the biggest and most popular mail order place on the web. I've been buying from
them since 1986 (through catalogs). I'd guess the majority of U.S. people here have bought something
from them at least once.
Their service isn't the greatest but it's usually not bad. Their prices aren't the lowest but
they're usually on the low side. Their selection varies.
I personally like to buy their branded clothes because they are good considering the low prices.
Another good one is Nashbar.com, which Performance apparently now owns but which generally has
better prices. I've also been using them since 1986.
You'll usually get better service from a local bike shop (LBS) though not always (some LBS's suck).
LBS's with good service will also usually special order anything you want, which makes their
effective selection a lot larger than Performance or Nashbar.
