Yesterday Nashbar had a secret sale of 20% off certain items. There was a Schwinn bike with 105 levers and external bearing Suntour cranks for $600 after discount, before shipping. The Nashbar carbon frameset was $480 after discount, before shipping. I was intrigued. The Discipline Fairy was kind though and granted me the will to not click 'Buy'.
105 levers are on sale for $221 though, and having just wrecked my 10 speed, need some levers. I do not have the fundage right now though, and I am sad.
