As a quick experiment I built a bike from components and accessories last year and couldn't find any of the items I wanted on Amazon, but have just tried again. No Rohloff hub, Enve rims, Gilles Berthoud mudguards, Schmidt dynamo hub, etc. Only the brake pads for Hope brakes, not the brakes themselves. The only bits of an entire bike that I managed to find was the Carradice bag and the Fizik saffle.

That's true on Amazon too

Hmm, weird. I don't know why you'd get Prime in that case - I guess they find the next day delivery worth the GBP80 on its own?
