Are you in Halfrauds, then?

There was a bracket I needed for the rear derailleur. I found it online but tried two bike shops to try and get it quickly. One said they had one three days ago but was asked today if I wanted them to order one for me, the second told me no such thing existed! I ended up ordering one online!

Any decent bike shop will have a selection of brackets in stock, they are designed to bend or break if knocked to save the frame from damage.
