Best place for parts in Dublin?

Where's the best place to get good parts in Dublin? In particular I'm looking for a Selle San Marco Regal saddle, and Nitto RB-021 Stainless Steel handlebars. Cycleways don't stock either. Do any other of the shops stock them, or can you get them to order them in? Or is it best to order them online? Although I can't see either on Evans or Bike Components.de either.

While there are exceptions online is generally cheaper.

Wiggle have the Regal. Hubjob have the bars. I didn't shop around, so you might find better prices elsewhere.

Got a san marco regal the other day courtesy of lastgasp. He was getting rid of it because he found it too hard. It is very hard, just keep that in mind when buying. Must say i'm loving it though

I'm between the San Marco and a Brooks B17, but I don't think I ride long enough distances to make a Brooks B17 work, my commute is only 20 minutes each way, it won't get broken in for years.

lol, i picked up a brooks B17 off shortcircuit a few days after i got the san marco... have yet to use it though, saving it for my new bike when it eventually gets built up

lol too. Got a B17 instead of the Regal I gave you ! Commute is about 40km per day so it is gradually breaking in. I much prefer the smooth finish to the "velcro effect" of the Regal. Just splashed out on a Spesh Gel Toupe which I fitted this evening to the road bike. That feels pretty hard too, compared to the sq labs 611 I had on it. I might take that to work tomorrow instead of the Fixie to see what it feels like.

That was a B17N, no? Quite a different beast from a B17, from what I hear.

yeah, was a b17n

hadn't realised there was a big difference
