Spotted on ebay, Velocity/Gran Compe tubular front wheel for $30, Surly cog for $10.
edit- shipping makes the wheel a little less of a deal, but still not bad.

Nitto Bar End Plugs - $14.99
Nitto Bar End Plugs: Silver (New take-off) - Bike Recyclery
I see these on the interwebz for $19 and so it isn't an amazing deal five bucks is five bucks.
Would be nice to snazz up a bike.

I've been eyeing that wind jacket for more than a week. So far, I've successfully convinced myself that a) I'm not fond of the color and b) I'm more of a vest kind of guy.
I hope they sell out, soon - I don't know if I can keep it up.

Fuji Roubaix Frame 49cm Blue $99 instead of $999
Fuji Roubaix Frame 49cm Blue
Sounds tempting since I'm thinking to build my first road bike after commuting for 26 years on MTBs, but a little clueless about road bikes. What is "BSA English threaded bottom bracket"? All I know is that the groupset I want is Shimano Sora R3500 but I have no idea if it will be compatible.
Is 4 lbs good for a steel frame? Should I go for aluminum of steel? (not interested on carbon since I assume it will rise the price to the clouds)
looks like I need some advice here.

50 would be appropriate IMO. Maybe less. It's an old frame that was never anything super special and it doesn't have a fork or headset, which means more shopping and another 50-150 cost on you depending on what you can source for the build.

Surprised this thread's been quiet for so long...
Anyway, Ben's has All-City 612s for $100 right now if anyone needs a new set of cranks:
https://www.benscycle.com/all-city-6...16055_cr2909/p
Link shows the silver 170s but they've got the same price going for black and silver cranks in both 165 and 170.
