    Hi everybody!
    (First post from a new member, this is an awesome site!)

    I am moving back to the Oceanside this Summer area after about a decade away. Can you all recommend a good LBS in that area to go to for parts, service, and eventually a new steed?

    Thanks in advance!

    Bicycle Warehouse will match pricing, still expensive
    Trek Shop in Vista as well, expensive as well but good sales here and there
    Amazon bikes at 78/5 interchange
    Alan's Schwinn on Coast Hwy
    Pacific Bicycles on 78/Coast Hwy
    Performance sells stuff I guess


    :( I miss SuperGo

    I would go to bike bling. They are an internet shop so they have pretty low prices although sometimes their customer service lacks. I would probably stay away from B+L, they sponsor the club I am on and I still will not go in there. They are kinda of a bunch of douche bags.

    I can't recomend B+L as a shop because it would just be a lie. Lets just say if someone asked me about it in person I would just say I can't make a comment on it.

    I have found performance to have great customer service. They do sell some cheaper products that someone who is all about brand names might not prefer, but they also have high end products. And their performance club cannot be beat. 10% store credit back on every purchase. Who can beat that?
