Pretty happy with what I hauled, except for the broken front derailleur I picked up. I should have inspected it before putting it in my bag. But I am only down $10.
9 speed barend shifters for $15, Tiagra front and rear Derailluer for $20 (almost new), Topeak Dynapak for $25, bottle cages for .50 cents......
All in all I spent $125 and I got lots of stuff's. Most I need, some I don't, but they are nice to have....I think.
I am looking forward now for the one in March.
