This is false (unfortunately); while CR/Wiggle does sell their own bikes with Shimano builds this is no different than any other bike manufacturer, yet the trek or specialized at your LBS is still significantly more. You cannot purchase any Shimano parts at Chain Reaction.
- notatoad 6y ago>You cannot purchase any Shimano parts at Chain Reaction. this is a relatively recent development, you could last year. i'm not sure if they've clamped down globally or just stopped shipping to north america. >this is no different than any other bike manufacturer it's different in that CR is a retailer as well as a manufacturer. I assure you that even if the situation has changed recently, they definitely were selling off their OEM parts. it wasn't some sneaky thing, they were literally advertising what they were doing.
