It's funny because I always end up buying things like Campy chains, tires, parts and clothing from the UK and Germany since they're usually far cheaper than domestic/US prices.

Anyway, here are places I've bought from recently, but I wouldn't say any have superb deals. US pricing is very...controlled by a handful of large distributors (chiefly QBP, BTI, Hawley) and manufacturers dictating Minimum Advertised Pricing (MAP.)

Competitive Cyclist - online/warehouse
Art's Cyclery - online/warehouse
Western Bikeworks - brick and mortar
Jenson USA - superstore/discounter
R&A Cycles - brick and mortar extension
Glory Cycles - brick and mortar extension

Amain cycling and Kyles bikes
They offer some pretty good new customer sign ups. I think I got 10 and 15 % off respectively ... on already heavily discounted items.

Only reason UK and European stores seem cheap to us in the US is they don’t charge us VAT, US taxes, and most times import tariffs.
