Is My Deal as Good as I think it is?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Sounds like a garage sale - how much of it was new?

What does "lightest available at the time" mean? You might want to chuck the gloves as well as the shorts if they aren't new. Probably have wiped a lot of snot!

If it's used and doesn't fit, I would say your deal isn't as good as you think it is.

Looks good from here but I am sitting on the toilet so that doesn't mean much.

it is 50% of the deal you think it is, or 45% of the deal you once thought it was.
