Researching Cycle Parts - Price and type comparison

Researching Cycle Parts - Price and type comparison

This map contains price research for bicycle parts and accessories. Over the years I have bought various items to repair or add to my cycles. I look at the cycle shop web sites and eBay creating a comparison by dragging and dropping web links on to the map plus copying and pasting price and other text, sometime images. Use Firefox or Internet Explorer if you want to cut and paste images. Chrome does not behave as expected.

Now I can sort items by price (don't forget the postage and packing) and part type allowing me to compare the offers. Sometimes I have noticed people paying more for second hand items on eBay than new at a shop.

The image in the centre is one of my bikes bought for £10 at the local recycling centre. It now has approx. £200 worth of bits on it: wheels, tyres, mudguards, saddle, post, brakes, bottom bracket. It creaked its way to Fareham and back to Alresford at the weekend. Is used the map to source a new bottom bracket (pedal axle, bearings and cups).
