i've been looking forward to the bike show all year, but it turns out that i have to go to a training on the saturday, and since i'm not able to keep my one of my jobs, 13 bucks sounds like a lot to me... so i might be SOL

all i want is new bar tape (and maybe some socks)!

I also missed CM on account of my fat lazy ass.

I would also like to be on the standby list for a bike show ticket if there's any left after all is said and done.

For the 105 Caliper deal- if anyone is buying a black set and are looking to part with the front (yeah, I know- not likely) I'll go in on it with you. (assuming they're the correct reach.)

Yep i did got a set of ITM bars for like 7 bux shipping was 11.50 it took about 10 business days USPS sends the package Canada post delivers it 5 dollar handling/duty fee then tax on the total value of product. So not to bad!

Hrm, from the site it just says "Canada mail" so yeah, I guess that is USPS. Might take a bit longer but not likely to incur any duties. I have ordered from them in the past but cannot recall which carrier they used. I know that I didn't get any duties added. ProBikeKit definetely uses CanadaPost/snail-mail. FedEx/UPS/Purolator almost always charge a "brokerage fee" which is just hogwash.
