Went by SCC today to take advantage of the 20% off sale.
I saved quite a bit of $$

Picked up a pair of gloves, some gel, a FREE T-Shirt ( nice SCC shirt!),
a seat collar ( the one on the bike doesn't hold the seat in place ), AND...
exactly what I needed to replace some seriouly worn parts.
New XTR trigger shifters ( a pair) and rear Derailleur.
Should all be installed and ready to pick up by Friday!
I am a happy boy... Damn life is good....
