Buying parts a la carte @ retail gets real expensive real quick.

I once worked at a shop where they wouldadd up the a la carte prices, add a $70 labor charge and 15% on top of it all for custom builds. Such bull****.

Today I:
Today I think I filtered through traffic for like 5 miles. Coming home 5pm, 10 miles west to east going past the 405 on ramps, and into Beverly Hills. So much traffic, half the time it was either bumper-to-bumber or slowly rolling at 20mph. It's not as fun when i have a pannier to worry about.

Go on our site and do the math.
Considering prices at RG are pretty low to begin with, it's crazy how quickly things add up.

I don't even want to figure out what my BK would add up to at individual retail prices.

I think I decided what color to get the 930 repainted in. I'm going to go with a glossy dark blue.
Epic Schwinn,
The raleigh looks much much much better now.

Traded this-
(got it for $200) + $100 and some wrenching.
for this-
Which is this but with a broken frame, right at the fixing bolt for the replaceable hanger. Everything else is in amazingly good shape.
I think I did pretty good for myself. ...Wonder if I can get the frame replaced under warranty.

Yup! Sun and then random hail storms. I'm in Bellingham for the summer. I just now put together that you're a local (as in from Washington but as far away on the coast as possible)

Bought a bunch of random bike stuff, replaced the front brake pads on the Pug as the old ones were squealing like a cat in heat... will clean those up and keep them as spares.

Harsh! Mercury ran all the way up to 54 degrees here today.
That webcast of Radiohead @ Bonnaroo youtube was kickass! One of those things that makes me glad I'm living in the future.
