When it's all said and done I think everything will cost me $0 by reselling stuff, having a cashback CC, cashbacks through sites, price matching and earning credits on a website:

Always regretted selling my bike bag, picked up one this week for a steal....
Much easier lugging around than a cardboard box.

took off a specialized s-works stem (17+ degree, i think a 90 or 100mm) that was aluminum. bought a Ritchey WCS carbon matrix stem (+6 degree 110mm). such a difference in the handling.

I've gone semi-berserk this month and bought a pair of Shimano mtb shoes, a Giro Synthe helmet, and a Stages Power meter.

where did you order your C-24s from Bob? And how much, if you don't mind my asking, did you pay? I also just ordered a set today, from PBK, which seemed to be one of the lesser expensive places to get them from and there was no indication (yet) of any delay.

nice, but how much protection do you think that bike bag will provide if confronted with a rough baggage handler.

You almost certainly paid less. Because folks sometimes get hit with a customs charge, I figured it could be a wash, so I went with the US source. Plus, my last order from PBK never made it here--they were good about it though, so no worries--just an annoyance. At least with CC I can pick up the phone and yell at someone conveniently when they screw up

Plus it folds up so is easy to store and/or cart around.

I suspect we both hunted all the usual sites. In the end, I went with Competitive Cyclist. They have them for $866, plus I had a coupon for $100 off, so I assumed I was looking at $766 because they do free shipping on almost everything... well, they charge for shipping wheels, so basically it was right about $800.
