Seems like a mistake. You can also get a turbo saddle for 12.50!

I don't think I'll be making an order this time. I have more saddles than bikes

It doesn't "apply to all saddles", it's just a -$30 shopping cart item. You MAY succeed in sneaking one past them, but I very much doubt it.

Just because you can put it in your cart doesn't mean they're gonna honor the order.

I'm tempted to place the order shown above just to hear what that phone conversation would be.

"Uh sir, we're going to have to cancel your order. That rebate was not meant to be applied to wheel sets... forty times."

He was really cool about it. He said that he was going to disable the rebate.

@ lewhand: I doubt he's going to honor it. He told me he had already had to call several people and tell them their orders were invalid.

Well congrats guys. Looks like you ruined the rebate for people who might have actually wanted that saddle.

Yeah I felt pretty bad about it in retrospect. Maybe they'll fix the glitch.

this is basically a "within the hour" deal,
but if you know of Gilt Group, there is a sale on chrome stuff starting in a few minutes.

basically im stoked because ive been wanting the chrome champ jacket and its on sale for 69, as opposed to 140.

PricePoint have many items on sale right now, totally worth digging through the site for a bit for special deals.

Their FSA Orbit MX headset is only $28.

I thought of that too, but what do that have at around $100 that's worth buying? Maybe a beat around town wheelset is about all I can think of.

There's a hole in the rim on the last pic. Wouldn't that make that rim unsafe?

Those stickers like kinda shady though.
