  Old  Bike Shops?

Anyone know of a good bike shop online? It would need to sell mountain bikes as I'm looking for mid-level Trek hard tail for Callie, and possibly a new Giant for myself.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys...

I'm in the US so a US based bike shop would be best - eBay won't cut it as I'm not sure what I'm looking for as far as the wifes new bike goes, so I'm looking for a browse able inventory.

Trek (for women) : http://www2.trekbikes.com/for_women/
Giant (for you) : http://www2.giant-bicycles.com/en-US/bikes/mountain/

Are there no reputable bicycle stores in your town/city/area? The value of speaking one-on-one with someone in-the-know is very great--far above looking online--and trying out the bikes before you buy is essential.

No, there aren't any decent shops within almost 200 miles of here. Idaho is a terrible state. Nearest decent bike shop is in Ogden, Utah.

I do like those Anthems from Giant. I'm pondering picking this up for myself: http://cgi.ebay.com/2006-Giant-Anthe...ayphotohosting

I've ridden Trek all my life, but my dad swears by his Giant, and last time I took it out it just something special about it.

I bought both my mountain and road bike on ebay. You can find some great deals - especially during the winter.

This is what struck me today as spiffy... 06 Iron Horse Yakuza Aniki 24" ...

...for the wife. Never ridden and Iron Horse before, I'll have to find a distributor and check it out. I'm cheap, I'll check it out at a store, and buy it online.

Oh, and ya, Performance. I had completely forgotten about them Thanks!
