Sorry if this has been done before! If you need bike parts where do you go? Your local bike shop, online store in NZ or online store overseas?

D) All of the above. Bike shop if its a small thing, or a whole bike, T7 for random cheap bits, often online overseas if its some bling part and significantly cheaper than the LBS, and lots off mates / here / trademe

Also all of the above
LBS for parts that need fitting by someone that knows what they are doing. Or for anything I want right now, or that requires an educated opinion.
Online or trademe in NZ for consumables, parts that don't require expert attention, clothing etc.
Don't buy from overseas.
so I ticked other

I buy things off mates... or things that are on super specials...
Have bought things of ebay, overseas online stores, nz online stores as well as local bike shops...
Depends on where is giving me a good deal and how quickly I need it!!
