J and B Importers Account
-
Hey everyone,
I just got an account with J and B Importers, a friggin HUGE bicycle parts wholesaler. When I get a catalogue, I'll bring it down to the Oven to let everyone decide if they want to order stuff through J and B (if the prices are right). -
These dudes haven't sent me a paper catalogue yet, so I'm a bit hamstrung getting an accurate price quote without calling in and asking for every product number of everything I want to buy. Sigh.
-
You might ask them to email/fax you a wholesale price list.
Better yet, they also appear to have a dealer login page online that may show pricing.:

I don't know what the deal is, but I've already ordered a couple of hundred dollars in stuff from them, and they haven't hooked me up with a damn catalog nor access to their online index.
Arg.
If you guys want to jack some of the stuff I order, I'll provide a list of what I'm getting in a few minutes. -
I should have a list of some parts we need in a day or two. Do you need to place an order asap?
-
I'm putting it all together just now. Sorry it's taken so long! I had a lot of foot traffic and bike building work this afternoon. Whew.
-
I'm putting an order in with Josef (J&B) for some tubes and tires we need asap.
I'm going to go ahead and order without posting for comment first due to:
- our need to get the stuff asap (I sold the last two 700 road tires last night)
- Josef's need to get stuff for his shop
- better pricing when we coordinate with Josef's order
I'm trying to get a handle on our parts lists, suppliers, and needs. As I get a feel for this, I will try to always post any upcoming orders for comment at least a day or two before placing it. Thanks for your patience. -

Good find Dave. These prices are all lower ( at least these three items) than the previous suppliers:
26x1.5 tubes are $2.53 at Achieva
700x19-23 pv tubes 32mm are $2.38 at Avhieva
Univ Brake cables are $higher at Niagara ( around $0.65 each) -
