Yup. One does not always have to go to the LBS for BS(bike stuff). I too have found some good bargains at Canadian Tire and WalMart. C Tire supplies the best wireless computer I have been lucky enough to use and for a fraction of what they cost at a bike shop. The nylon saddle bags sold by CT is also a good deal at six bucks and, with the name removed looks just great on my Sekine SHT270 and on a Sekine SS I built last winter.

WalMart has offered cheap!!! 27" tires but I have never purchased a set because they have a green wear strip on them that looks awful. But I did buy one of their saddle bags once(honey colored leather like round pack) but cannot find it anywhere. The bag cost thirteen dollars and had a definite vintage appeal when compared to the nylon one.
