American online stores. Even though i wish to support local bike stores to purchase a bike, the mark up is way too high on road bikes. I got my leader track bicycle through Leader online and saved at least 300 dollars compared to buying here.

La bicicletta in Broadway is a nice place for road bikes (expensive ones too)

Where does one find a Felt bike in the Lower Mainland? I'm looking to buy my first road bike and the Felt F75 looked realllll good spec-wise.

These are the foot straps I bought. Those little leather ones look like they would break.

I bought them at Super Champion.

I'm riding a POS old 6 speed norco atm. I wish I can buy a high end bicycle but I am too paranoid to let it sit in my condo's parkade. Can't even bring it up the elevator without getting slapped with a $200 fine.

That sucks! I was wondering why didn't they honor the warranty? Isn't it lifetime?
Time to find a new frame?
