Nashbar screwed up their website description, now fixed. The Mavic Wintech FS Cycle Computer w/Cadence @ $19.95 was actually the optional Mavic Wintech FS Cadence Kit. I can spend another $25 to get the item I thought I ordered (cadence kit is optional) or try a different brand. Mavic Wireless Pros/cons?

If you had bought it at the LBS (Local Bike Shop), you would've realized the mistake before you went out the door.

you haven't seen my closest LBS :) VERY small satellite store for a company in another city. they probably would have had to special order - know they have lights, lubes, tools - will see what else on Monday just to be fair. didn't have any new bikes my size. not even a bicycle rack outside :eek: nice people though. the next closest bike shop didn't answer their phone and finally replied by email that I could set up an appt to check them out. all the other shops are 8+ miles of heavy traffic each way. I did purchase my new bike from an LBS. Will also be using LBS for maintenance and stuff like lube or tubes
