need a bike parts hook up!

Hey, I'm looking at getting back in to working on bikes and need to find a parts supplier that will supply me with parts without having a store front. I'm not quite ready to open up a whole store front yet. I would like to work on getting my client base back. I have checked with J&B Imports and QBP and they both require I have a store front. Any suggestions would help.

Are you going to be a retailer, or just want cheap parts?

Do what half of my friends do. Get a part time job at a bike shop so you have access to QBP etc....

I want to be able to buy parts at wholesale not retail. I would like the option of being able to buy quality parts.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Everyone that I know who works at a bike shop gets all of their parts at the shops cost.

For retail, or personal use?
