Sheepshead cycles on coney island avenue and avenue x. The shop owner allen gave me a good deal.
$2000.00 on the comp triple. I asked him to upgrade the parts to 10 speed ultegra with the upgraded ultegra shifters, chain, a dura-ace cassette and dura-ace RD all for an extra $250.00.
Got some speedplay stainless zero pedals for $150.00 and the specialized comp road shoes for $90.00 (regularly $120.00).
All in all I think it was a good deal.

yes i think that would be the quote I am referring to
Good Afternoon!
Calm down craign04, your pure gonzo investigative journailism has skipped a groove. He bought his road bike within the last two weeks according to his posts about it. I like reading about new cyclists experiences and attitudes, yeah I'm a masochist, so what?
He then decided (wisely IMO) to commute through Brooklyn & NYC on his new (april 05) Spoogilized Hardtail or whathaveyou. Save the sweet ride for pleasure and sport riding, a beater for the ride to work and no need to bring it up to the office if yah got the right lock. Right tool for the right job and all that. Keeps this up he'll be carless for life, man after my own heart.
So he's switching between this entry level MTB and a mid-level stiletto. What'd you think would happen, unless he'd had a chance to do some true MTB riding it was almost inevitable that he'd want that smooth as silk feel on his commute. The answer? A less expensive perhaps used,..you guessed it, a road bike.
Guy pays full retail pop, cut him slack on not knowing the price ranges. He's looking to trade a not too used '05 for an '03 that don't need to be pretty. How much would you pay for an entry level allez with 2 years use on it? I wouldn't pay $350.00 for an '03 with sora or maybe it was tiagra on it.

and really.....a 6 month investment comprised of 590 misleading posts to score a long con with a net of $300.00 (in merchandise that drops in value as soon as it leaves the store)
For his sake I hope he's not a con

Heh, no. I'd expect you to ask us what kind of bike is the best one for running over dogs before you did anything like that.
