We have nearly 110 parts listed (not including parts within kits).
We are open to suggestions, that's for sure. What is it you are looking for? If we can get a good deal and buy in bulk we will certainly pass it on to you.
We don't carry stuff for the bolt on sprocket world and we don't sell spandexbike world parts. It's not what we are all about - it's not our charter.
Again - if there is a demand, we are open minded.
As for our descriptions, what should we add? Seriously it's a two way street. We could type all day long - do you think the average MB guy reads half the stuff. I could tell you stories about people who don't read DIRECT INSTRUCTIONS. It's a man thing - as my wife says! I'm telling you I agree it is 2011 and the literacy rate is dropping fast
Lastly - people miss stuff on our site all the time because stupid canned e-commerce only allows 20 products per page so they don't see page 2-3. I certainly don't blame folks for that. I'd love to have a different set up, but we can't pay for that and we don't have time for computer fun.
Please any ideas, we love to hear them. Thanks!

Custom Stickers, Decals and More at Victory Circle Graphix
While I haven't used them yet myself, this custom sticker and decal company comes highly recommended by many in the frame building community.
According to the owner, He can make many different type of stickers and doing smaller quantity orders is their specialty. All of his decals/stickers can be clear coated over the top with no problems and have good durability. Also he's trying to get the word out that he now has a process to make stickers that can be clear Powder Coated over. Yes a sticker that can handle the baking process with no side effects. Some pretty neat technology and something I think could be a useful resource for many builders.
Let me say this our Motorized Bicycle Forum Sponsor's deserve some credit even though they may not be making big bucks I for one appreciate them for their efforts.
I know that you can't make everyone happy and hopefully the forum members that were not happy with the service or product they received will find some resolution!
Thanks again Pablo & all our forum sponsor Suppliers good bad or indifferent, and the products that you all make available to the Motorized Bicycling community!!!
