I'm after a new light (lost last one) but am always a little wary of online. Does anyone have experience with the following suppliers that have my light in stock at prices quite a bit lower than some.
Bike exchange

ABC Bikes

I bought a set of Minoura rollers from abcbikes last year. Legit and great service.

Abc is owned by kerry hopkins, a retired frame builder. Good guy, his son shaun works in the shop. Theyre a bit of a hike from me so I generally don't shop there much - but wouldn't hesitate to do so if it was convenient.

Thanks guys. Looks like I'll be ordering from ABC.
I can't get over the range of prices for the same product on such an open source of info as the internet. It's not just bricks-and-mortar Jerry Harvey that need to get the act together.

Thats a good price. I run those lights on my commuter. Work well, last decently.

Good comments on ABC. I havn't purchased but they have been around for a while.
On the Bike Exchange Light this is what I see on bike exchange which does raise questions.
