Really? They're almost always $5 here.

@megabix there is no reason a "noob" can't ride that bike. It's a shame to let a nice bike sit. Get out and enjoy it!

I recently needed a couple MTB brake cables *now* so I went to a local shop in Madison. Regular cables were $5 each, and they wanted $10 each for stainless! It was highway robbery. Tubes have been $8 or $9 each for a while now.

Needless to say, I buy online whenever possible.

Wow. Apparently bike shops in Brooklyn are cheap? Crazy!

Dude, that bike is so hot I need to wear sunglasses just to look at it. I wouldn't take anything less than $600.
