Tieffels Posted January 26, 2011 Share CRC vs Buycycle: NOTE: CRC prices do NOT include 14% VAT, just as is on the website. Ordered and paid late Friday afternoon, got everything before lunch this Tuesday. Granted, CRC is cheaper on specials, but the local okes have really upped their game and should seriously be looked at. I'm sure as their business increases so will their product range. Well done Buycycle for actually saving me money over CRC AND lots of time/hassle/worries (I got badly burnt before the Epic last year with CRC and stock issues). Conti Mountain King Tyre - R294, paid R204@ Buycycle http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=21537 SLX Crankset - R1257, paid R1292@ Buycycle http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=28020 Park Tool BB tool - R176, paid R154@ Buycycle http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=4062 Oh, and I accidently ordered 2 BB tools, if you need one drop me a pm. R160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanroyal Posted January 26, 2011 Share The only problem with online bike shops is that the websites are so friggin addictive! Screw facebook, CRC, Wiggle, Evans Cycles etc that is my weakness! Ditto and don't forget DA HUB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted January 27, 2011 Share ....Also both boxes were re sealed with sars tape thats 5 orders in a row of mine that have been opened hope they didn't steal anything like last time I've been getting parcels (purchases and gifts) from overseas since the 80's and I can only recall two parcels that where not opened by SARS - over 40 parcels in the last 25yrs. I only had theft from the SAPO during the late 80's when my mom would include one or two small items that the local SAPO staff would take interest in. Always knew it was them as they would say stuff like "Enjoy your birthday presents" when I would collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted January 27, 2011 Share CRC vs Buycycle:....... I still say check the local guys before CRC. I've often found even my local LBS to be cheaper at times but CRC do have the variety that the local guys don't. Love my pannier from CRC and want to get another one now.
