I like the idea of drilling holes in bike products to reduce the weight, thank you for the idea Sheldon. I think I will start with my water bottles.

So does that mean that all BikeForum members are pre-qualified?

And err... also do I get special frequent buyer points for some of my favourite bike shops? How about a cash-back program? ... oh wait... this is cycling-related so I guess that would be a no.

MUCH better than those outmoded old steel cards...

I hope the drilled out card doesn't lead to unpredictable catastrophic swiping failure.

Bikes: Ritchey P-series prototype, Diamondback, Nishiki Triathelon Pro.

Sheldon. I had to one time buy several washers once that were exactly the size of a quarter...but the hardware store wanted 0.28 cent each!
Could have saved the trip, not the change.

Thanks for the website always.
