Cursed Nashbar and Performance catalogs!
I just got another Performance one this week.
Since buying stuff from both company, I seem to be getting one almost every week!
If you don't buy anything from their site, they never send you one. I tried like 5 times to request a free catalog. Then, I purchase things from their sites and they can't stop sending me the same ads over and over again.

I may never buy from either one again now that I found out that Competitive Cyclist has a 10% military discount... They rule.

ive never bought from them, yet i get them. I must be cool like that....or just lucky :/
On a serious note, I just read it to help me realize i dont have to spend $130 on this computer, because i can get 3/4 of features in this $34 model. Helps to keep me from splurging on stuff i don't need, as a beginner cyclist.

If you need a big discount, just ride in some of the big charity rides in your area. Many local shops give discounts to participants.
I'm doing AIDS/LifeCycle in June, and numerous stores in my area give 15% or 20% off everything in the store to participants, year-round.

Guys, while we're on the topic of Nashbar and PB, in your experience, how long does it take to get your order via standard shipping? I have an order at both places. TIA!

Mecheng, I usually use standard shipping on average takes a week, but I have had items take just over 2 weeks.
