We will not sell your information to anyone.    Where do you get your stuff? - Trade secret. Why do you use your own UPC and not the MFG's UPC? - Using our own UPC's gives us greater influence on the description. Because many of our parts are OE they either do not have a MFG UPC or may differ slightly on what is included. Using a MFG UPC can cause our description to be overridden by a catalog description that may not match what we are selling. Additionally many manufactures use UPC's that start with a 4. Those are not necessarily unique numbers and are not always valid as unique product identifiers outside a store setting. You say over and over to have a qualified mechanic work on my bike. What if I want to do my own work? - Not a problem, most repairs are easy and do not require special tools. There are several great instructional resources out there. Just be aware as a novice it will take you longer and components damaged due to improper installation are not covered by warranty. Can I pick up my item to save shipping? - Yes, but we are in the sticks. Our closest Starbucks is 30 minutes away. We do ask that you contact us first so we can pull your order. With drive time and gas not many people realize a savings.   Our History Before disc brakes, before V-brakes, before suspension forks, around the time the first index shifters that actually worked and the first production mountain bikes hit your LBS, Ben Gibbs started Bennett’s Cycle in St. Louis Park, MN. In the late ‘90’s he sold that shop and started experimenting with online sales. Ben started selling on eBay in ’99, back in the day when your default user ID was your email address. If you wanted to get fancy you could change that to your website URL. That ID (can’t put the name here because it included a URL) was one of the first to exceed 100,000 positive feedbacks.  Our Business Philosophy Move as many parts as possible without it being a pain. Just keeping it real. Pulling that off is a bit easier said than done. In order to do that we strive to deliver value to our customers by sourcing quality products at prices that make you ask is that for real? We commit to being honest and fair in our transactions with customers and suppliers. If a dispute arises, if we are at fault, admit it early. We are committed to providing a work environment that recognizes the unique value of each of our employees. And recognize that work, while it consumes much or our time, is only a part of who we are and by being welcoming and accommodating when life spills in. The only slightly unreasonable thing we ask of them is to stay out of our parking spots.
