I'm forced to reopen my cycling wallet as performance is offering that stupid free shipping thing again....

Sold. Taking the negotiations to PM's so as not to clutter everything all up.

I've found the Thomson is the best post ever, and want to be able to dial in the saddle position between my Brooks for long-ish comfy rides, and my Toupe for ass-hatchetery short rides, and just swap as required. I'll be changing them constantly, knowing me.

While we're on the subject of Thomson seatposts I have a fairly new Thomson setback silver road post in 31.6mm which I can unload.....

I went to Steve and Barry's in the Ontario Mills mall and picked up two underarmour type, long sleeve, base layer shirts for $10 each. I'll also be picking up some of their $6 shock shorts and am considering their $10 wind shell jacket.
These base layer shirts are awesome as I rode this morning and was nice and toasty at 41 deg.

I'm looking to hit up performance for the free shipping too.

Just bought a Garmin Edge 305 from Geoman. I forgot to plug in the code for free overnight shipping. They e-mailed me that the refunded th $9 shipping I had paid and were sending it overnight anyway. Based on this, I do recommend them.

Just because you forgot doesn't mean you should lose the opportunity or the savings... ;)

We're glad to have you as a customer. Thanks for the recommendation.

Best,

I admit that I've thought about this dozens of times. Many of my morning trail rides are in the 20's now and there are times when I'd love this feature.

Motionbased plugs in your local weather when you upload to your digest but it's after the fact.

C'mon! Can't we convince you to spend more on something??? Anything??? ;)

Even though I am very happy with my Giordana Tenax bibs, thought I would try a different brand for comparison.

I think you got ripped off. I've never paid more than 45 cents for a standard butted spoke, brass nipple included..... :p :D :D

I went to the LBS today, got a spoke that I broke 4 months ago, some new derailer cables, SRAM power link and Parks took ISIS crank remover. Spent a whopping $22:D

I could have saved you some scratch if you'd just asked to borrow my ISIS crank remover.
