I still think they are good deals, but a bit less wonderful.
Oh, well. In a year or so this contract will run out and yet another different batch will be bought for sale.
I was pestering Nashbar for months about getting my size in the carbon 105. The three people I know who have that last iteration LOVE them, and I wanted to see if owning a carbon bike would make me 21 skinny and handsome again. Twice they had 30% off sales and the only sizes available were circus performer ranges (WAYYY big and Teeny tiny).
So now I'll save and shop anew.
