Hrm, interesting. Was a 54 the only size left? Was it Duke's booth?

yup to dukes the only frame deal like that. no sizes

Deals on nothing! mostly just commuter stuff like racks, pumps, clothes. As for parts it wasn't nearly as good as last year.

Operator.

There was however a massive sale on BIBS. like buy one get one free. I was like..

"if Op was here, he'd be like A2C" -- ADD 2 CART.

Word. :D

**** bibs!

I'm just joking

Did you get the CB cleats from the booth at the front? I was going to get me a pair for myself. :)

I scored me a cool black Colnago t-shirt.... then I went back at 430pm and got the...

SOMA DOUBLE CROSS FOR $2000 CASH!!!

An offer they couldn't refuse...

P.S. Rob + bibs = match made in heaven...

:D

you *****! nice the one on display?

Double chuckles @ rob and bibs. Christmas is coming.......:lol:

yep.. that's the place. Mine are totally getting worn out.. had a couple pop-outs in the past few weeks with sloppy skids/etc.

wtf.

Has anyone been to any of the bike swaps?

I'm just wondering if it's worth it for me to bring my old frames.
I've also got a cross country fork and disc rims.

Do people buy components? or is it more for whole bikes?

Really!?

you gotta try some Don trails on 'er.

aaahahahahaah

:o NAH... I'm kidding... I didn't get it. They didn't like my cash offer "they couldn't refuse"...

:cry:

Okay, Cycle Therapy's having an auction tomorrow ... everything's on the block. It's our year-end clearout so expect to see bikes, tools, components, apparel, etc. all auctioned off. Some of the bikes will be starting at $50 for example. It'll be a Dutch-style auction, ie. if there are multiple sizes/numbers of a particular bike they can buy as many as they want at that price, then the next highest bidder can buy as many as they like, etc.

Registration starts at 11am ... auction at 12pm. It should run a few hours (you can register after the auction starts). If you're wondering about anything specific (ie. that Poprad Disc that T.J. test road earlier on this season that is STILL kicking around somehow) just give me a call and I'll let you know when it's scheduled.

Haha darn! I thought I'd have a ridiculously-pimped-out-double-cross buddy! I went by curbside to see my friend shimon and he showed me in the catalogue that my hubset cost almost 1000 bucks! haha!

That double cross at the show put mine to shame though. I honestly don't know how they will ever sell it.

Yeah, that Soma was SO taunting me, tantalizing me, and showing off...

I would have bought it for $2000.00 and tell them to swap out the wheelset or something to make it happen.

They did build it up pretty blingy eh?

Pretty much everything that could be carbon was carbon except for the frame.

I should have brought a camera with me. Next time I'll remember.


Anybody feel like going for a ride tomorrow?

I was able to buy some real bargain Pro Jersey 2 fo 80 buck an a bib short for 40.00

My post count = 5 digits. I win!

Where / When / How long? I'm going to the CT auction, but I've been itching to go for a ride as well. I think the weather is supposed to suck though, in which case I'll likely give the new trainer a go.

man, i was dissapointed in that bike show. i was counting on at least finding a brakeset for my road bike and i saw a grand total of 1, for $100 (105). was it just me or was there an abundane of roadie and freeride clothing (you were right about the freeriders taking over, traffic jammer). i almost picked up a pearl izumi jacket but did i really need another bike jacket? no.
did i hear someone say they saw a fixie for sale? i couldn't spot any.

I saw a jamis sputnik

wes: weather permitting some time tomorrow, 60-80k or something, not particular about route... anywhere

Thats the only one I saw. $800 I think. Must admit I was hoping for more deals on parts. That being said I did get a 'new' crank and chainring for $20. Best score though was the 1/2 links I was able to find.

I would have been all over that Sputnik... But it was a 55cm... :(

I did take it for a little spin, skid, and some backward circles!

Tomorrows going to be a good shakedown ride for waterproof gear.

selle italia saddle for 20 bones! noice...no good fenders, no waterprrof pants (that I could see) booooooooo bike show youre a cruel mistress!! now I'll get soaked until I can afford a flickin pair of MECs!

*cough* all that stuff and your brake set will be at the Cycle Therapy auction today ... *cough*

i've got to work, i guess i can't virtual bid on a short reach 105 brakeset can i?

ask eyefloater to bid for you

Get wes to be your secret “guy on the phone"
I’m watching these on evil bay http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1
