Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Someone is selling a Carbon frame LOOK KG281 for $250.



Overall, good condition but a few paint chips.

Please let me know if this is a deal and is it easy to build up. I'm considering it. Thanks

If you have to ask these questions you should probably pass.

Nashbar "hidden" shipping-discount deal.....


On their site they offer "Free Shipping On Your Entire Order With Any Garmin Brand Purchase".

If your shipping is going to run over $10... throw this in your cart:

Garmin Edge Quarter Turn Bike Mount Kit $9.99 Item # GN-KIT
Garmin Edge Quarter Turn Bike Mount Kit___

$10 for a Garmin mount. Don't need it, give it away.

It doesn't cover oversized items, but still gets a discount. I was ordering a set of Vuelta wheels. Shipping was going to be $22. With the Garmin mount, shipping dropped to $15. The payoff came as I threw the other things I wanted in the cart... no additional shipping.

I decided the -10 Pro 7S is bit to much for me, want a -6 more relaxed stem. Found a dealer on Ebay selling 3T ARX Pro for only $35 shipped. Great price. It's 30 grams heavier than the Team version but supposed to be identical in stiffness.

Inexpensive Seat Bag - Bushwhacker Bags

Because there isn't enough discussion re: seat bags here ... If anyone is in the market for an inexpensive, small seat bag and isn't picky about color this ebay seller has some nice options. https://stores.ebay.com/americansportsproductsusa/

I bought the smallest Chico mini in green; which, by all appearances is extremely similar to my 10 year old Jandd mini tool bag, in both pattern, materials and construction. The Bushwhacker bag is a touch bigger, but not by much. Not sure what the story is here, or whether they come from the same factory? Pictured carry(levers-road bike; PDW 3Wrencho-fixed gear)

If you're referring to my post above, not trying to sell anything and have no relation to seller. Just thought it was a good deal if anyone was looking for a cheap but nice quality saddle bag. Sorry for confusion.

+1 - I considered picking one up because it was a good deal, just didn't want green.

Here's a good one I purchased last night, Art's Cyclery has the Pd-5700 Carbon pedals on clearance special, but you know what**********? Their carbon Pd-5800 is an even better deal! Not sure if it is a mistake, but no one else in the USA has them this cheap, and with free shipping!

Sold my old shoes, since they were two sizes too big, and bought new shoes I hope fit. With hassle free return service, I'm not worried.

I think this is a good deal. $79 with 2 day shipping, 2012 Northwave Typhoon Evo SBS. This is the Typhoon EVO but with ratchet strap.

Is this a secret thing they slip in some times?

Recently they have promos like, buy one pearl izumi or garmin item, and get free shipping on whole order (w/ exclusions of course).

I got those pedals a couple of months ago and really like them. Granted, they are my first pair of spd-sl pedals, but i don't know what improvements would be worth spending more.

I think these are 2012 model, Carnac Helios Road Shoes. Been on Ebay for a bit. Maybe someone interested in them.

Since it has the major features of even Dura Ace, probably the only improvement is a lighter bank account?

I use the 540 heavier ones and I don't feel compelled to upgrade those. Seems you chose awesome pedals as your first. I wonder if the wider platform of the 5800+ matter. When these wear out, I'll get the R550. 550/5800 do look like they might be easier to clip into, larger, and more curved entry point than my R540s.

Shoes arrived. Northwave Evo SBS, white. Very pretty shoes. Full length carbon composite sole. Even the specialized I had before was mostly plastic and carbon sparse. Not that light though for a carbon sole shoe, think they are as heavy as the Specialized BG carbon I sold that were two sizes too big.

- Good news is they fit me great. The toe box area is roomy, wide. And the arch is moderate/low. I find high arch in cycling shoe overtime becomes fatiguing and painful.
- The ratchet is way nicer than what Bontrager and Specialized uses. It's smoother, quieter. Easier to remove the strap. The quick adjust on the fly is works smoothly.
- They provide some extra screws to attach the cleats
- The cleats installed nice and flat, flush to the soles.
- Backcountry is weird company. They include random samples, this time it was deorderant.

Negative: Heel feels a bit loose. Will see how it is after a ride.

Alright I'm getting ready to ride and start adjusting these cleats. Hope you like your shoes too.

I got no cool samples or stickers! lol. Rode a quick 5 miles with mine today, and of course almost wrecked trying to dismount lmao. I love the stability of these shoes, just need to play with the cleat adjustment and I should be golden.

I got deorderant, a sticker, $100 voucher for free wine, a sticker and a $10 discount for ski tickets. When I bought my saddle from them, I got something similar. Unnecessary stuff. I love BackCountry, they make me look at LBS in disgust, their sales on last years models are so great. Shops nearby are still selling full MSRP on shoes that are two years old.

Yeah I'm still messing with the cleats. I moved them up so I'm more on the balls of my feet, but I think I'll drop them down a smidge.
