Scrod: Have you put together a list of go-to parts, components, bikes, et al? I saw on your pedalroom that you said something about a certain chain, how you would not buy any other chain. I think it would be a good resource to have a few lists of what you think are the best things out there right now... actually, three lists, like a budget list, a main-line list, and a top of the line list. I imagine that some items may be the same across lists because some budget items are the best you can get, but whatever.
I know it could be a pain to maintain as products come and go, but it could be helpful and if you linked to products you might find a way to monetize it (assuming you link to some products that you do not sell).
