Also, My wife's severance came in, so she let me buy stuff. I got Shimano M520's and SIDI Sierras for a grand total of $50 after tax. Good times. New headlight when I get paid (tomorrow), and then road bike. I can snag a Fuji Roubaix 2.0 for like $600, which is in my price range, so I'm gonna do it.
dood if u work at performance u should wait for a deal on an sst. those things are sick
maybe u can get a deal on a return or factory second or something??? in college when i worked at a bike shop that dealt specialized you could do the same thing. employees could access a special list of specialized rigs with like minor defects that they couldnt sell at msrp for like mad cheap.
i have a teammate this year who owns a fuji sst. the dude is a beast, like ~190lb slab of muscle. he cracked two (2) blue AC1SL frames that he got free from our sponsorship deal at the chainstay/bb area. he's also cracked a trek madone that he owned in the past. hasn't cracked his SST and hes had it for 3 years.
