Copeland closing clearance.
Well My local copelands is closing, I've already picked up some stuff, an easton ea30 road handlebar, stem, and connector for $10, some cableing for $4, and another handlebar & stem that has two brake levers, one regular and a shimano one with built in 8-speed shifter, and some mountainbike handlebar add-ons on the end for only $10.
There are a bunch of chains, chain links, ball bearings, locks without keys, a key without a lock, and so much more. I can basicaly name my own price if it's decent, I'll try to get the most that I can with what I have left, only $20.
Is there anything to look out for that?

The Fit Kit might be worth something, there were a few varitations, the earliest set up for toe clips and straps, later for clipless, first being Look and compatible form factor. The balance of the stuff is not special, they had dimensional guidance, but these were usually used in conjunction with a turbo trainer or similar and an adjustable stem and a number of handlebars helped make everything useful. An angle finder, a plumb bob, scales, all reasonably obtainable.
I hear ebay calling...

Edit: OMG they go for a bunch new.
This one might be a generation back but still, daaaamn.
edit2: there was also a "bicycle training computer" or something like that, is was boxxy, had a small screen, some buttons and a connector like an over sized S-video.

I have not kept up with the pricing of them, not cheap. From my view, the pedal components are where the usefulness of the system are, the guidance is sound, but, and this is a large exception, the solutions provided have to be compared with a rider on an actual bike, from my experience the overall posture of a person and their flexibility mean a great deal, the kit can't control for that. The pedals do have a good basis for fact and can assist in the selection of a pedal system even, no float or the type of float needed, and for nail on cleats as we are on a vintage forum.
My guess no one at the shop knows how much the system cost new.
