Bikebandit.com has been good to me in terms of service and availability, but their prices are a little high.

I continue to use them because I wanted a set of EBC disk brakes for my bike which are no longer produced - There were plenty of the right side disks hanging out in warehouses, but it turns out that there were no stocks available for the left side. They tracked down the LAST ONE in the country for me.

Plus, they have an Online customer service chat, which seemed sortof dumb at the time, but is actually pretty handy, because you are communicating real time, and unlike a phone call, you can save a copy of the transcript in case you need to clarify or track an order, whatever.

Just out of curiousity have your tried Ebay? they usually have alot of new parts and alot of the Ebay stores can find you what you need. I know thats how I found the scrap yard I deal with now. Im sure youd have no problems finding new stuff on Ebay as well.
