It took about 2 weeks to get a pair of Hope rotors and some bolts from them but only 4 days to get a helmet. Both were in stock when I ordered them. I just don't get it. Apparently rotors are worth taking a second look at by customs.
**Mutters something about supporting your local bike shop**
Well, when your LBS wants $100 for some pedals and you Find them online for half the price, it's kind of a no brainer. Had there only been a $10-15 difference I would have gone with my LBS. I buy most of my cycling related apparel, little stuff like tubes, lubes, tools, and I let them give my bike a tune up every once in while. It's probably also worth mentioning I bought my current bike from them, so yeah, I'd like to think I do my share to support my LBS.
I'd love to support my lbs, but its a 15 mile journey, then they won't have the part on so will need to order it in and only get a delivery once a week, and it's probably twice the cost of crc.
