Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I need to order a new pair of brifters. Performance has a very good sale price on a pair of Ultegras. I just missed the coupon from yesterday. I was hoping to see a Columbus Day coupon. Sunday or Monday.

Should I wait or snap the brifters up now? I guess I stand the chance that they have a limited amount of brifters avaliable?

Performance seems to average at least one sale a week. So if you don't grab the product now, chances are it'll go back on promotion later in the month, or sometime later within the next few months.

That said, I assume you're looking at the Ultegra ST-6510s? Because pbk has the 10speed ST-6600 for $239.

Yeah that is what I am looking at. I'd probably still go with the 9 speed. 10 speed doesn't get me much unless I upgrade the DR and shifter too. I just can't afford it.

I have a thread going in the mechanics forum. I just learned that the Tiagra shifters are the same as the Ultegras. If that is true then I would rather support my LBS if the costs and quality are about the same.
