Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - I just robbed my LBS

okay, so i didn't rob them... but they were having a clearance and this is how i made out:

EastonCt2 carbon seatpost: 80% off = 26.00

Manowar chain tensioner: 80% off = 1.40

Pave Sport Fizik saddle: 50% off = 30.00

Salsa clamp seatpost: no discount = 29.90

Seven Aluminum straight handlebar = 87% off = 10.00

total- 103 after tax.

total savings: 204.


i felt so good i bought myself lunch and a set of tireflys.

what's the best you've done with a shopping spree?

they also had an old campy bb for a dollar but i didn't want to buy it and face the agony of it not fitting any of my frames.

56cm viner track with superbe pro cranks and gipemme hubs laced to tubs for 250

Showoff.

dookie- it was paceline.
in greensboro.

they kick ass. if there's any problem with the bike stores here it's that there are too many good ones.

and seriously i went in to spend 15 dollars, and spent a lot more- but what self-respecting bike consumer could help themself?

i should have picked up that campy bb just to use as a paperweight.

Mostly.

or if you go by again you could pick it up and sell it to me....I've been looking for a cheap Campy BB

I'm going tomorrow, then.

there were LOTS of (geared) cranksets and cassette cogs... a few 10 dollar saddles... and a bunch of expensive parts from 50 to 80% off...


and best of all there were blue and silver lizard skin top tube protector kits!!! yeah!

F*** me....I made a very bad choice skipping this sale.

I hope the tireflys were the ones that look like spiders clinging to the spokes.

nah just the green UV ones. the spiders would look great on my wheels.

and my bike doesn't vibrate enough to set them off. i'm kinda pissed:mad:

btw paceline is great but i won't go anywhere but friendly now, especially to have work done. they're absolutely amazing.

brand new Brooks Pro, $62 from ebay

Did you actually need any of this stuff? You do actually own a bike, right?

it all found its way onto this:

cept the chain tensioner. i don't really need one.

I got my RIDLEY cross bike with full ULTEGRA for less than the cost of the frame (2,600 dollar savings).
