Dimensional weighting is a ***** when you're paying for it. I got a set of wheels from a guy last week and he paid over $90 to FedEx them. Luckily the price I paid was 'shipped'.

I rarely see other riders around here though, so it doesn't happen often.
In other news, I think Competitive Cyclist might have taken me for a ride. I ordered the Noah frameset and 2 sets of Fizik bar tape from them, and it all shipped today. The only problem is that the weight shows on UPS as 101 pounds. That seems a little high for a frameset and some bar tape. I'm wondering if the Noah was so cheap because it was made out of lead.
