Bicycle Magic (E1) have Shimano 1/8 for less than a tenner. Bargain.

My 'cheap' one would charge about £6 , and probably fuck it up.

The 'better' one, would charge £20.

I dont think I 'owe' any trade to anyone for merely being independent. If they have a good shop with good service and prices then of course theyll get my custom. But in this situation ASDA or the internet wins.
