so far a lot of stuff i have bought from newton bike shop (frisco near cor. araneta ave.), why?, because i had my bike's hub re-packed over there as well as had it trued, tuned-up, etc.
i also buy a couple of stuffs from my neighboring LBS, arelys bike shop (don jose subd., commonwelath, qc) just a heartbeat away from my house by pajak, great owner, nice price and good service.

Hello Sir, I have made it a point to buy stuff from different shops depending on the brand and depending on the prices. When buying Giant stuff - frames, bottles and even tubes, I go to Extreme in Panay, QC. Forks - I bought it from Dan's in EDSA, Makati. Accesories and components like Grips, handlebars, seatposts and even helmets, etc at Velo, Paulina's, etc. in Cartimar. Drivetrain and brake parts like FD's, RD's chains I buy in Newton in Del Monte, QC

Very informative... through this we can help other fellow bikers to have an idea on what LBS to buy for their future upgrades.

No particular LBS but I can recommend Easy cycle in Juan Luna, Tondo, near Solis EPH's and Independent (those are 2 different shops) Along the stretch of Boni Avenue and Aglipay. Endless in Pasay Road, might friendly people there

I buy some parts in endless in pasay... and always talk to Egay everytime I visit this LBS. did not buy any Bike parts in Sabak... don't like anything in power bikes but I always visit there if I'm in Power plant... good parts display but expensive and I can not afford it...
Paulina's just to have a look and observe how they sell their bike parts... did not remember if I already bought bike parts there... Velo City, I feel I can not afford to buy their parts, this is the way they treated me as a customer... because I just wearing shorts and old T-shirt... ;D Other than this LBS, I don't know...
