Winter's Coming, Group Buy Ideas?
No doubt about it, 35 degrees here this morning. As the weather cools thoughts of a new winter bike building project starts. Anybody have any input on components, frames or bikes they would like to see offered as a group buy? I know Soul bikes was talking about setting up a group buy on aluminum frames a while back.

How about a GB for a Pedal Force carbon fiber frame? The last one was a really nice color scheme and it seemed like about 1/2 off the regularly cheap $800 price.
I'd be tempted, if I can hide it from my fiance ("Oh honey, that's just a stand for my bike, so I can save money doing repairs myself"

How about a Group Expedition Tent Buy so we all have somewhere to live this winter after they repo all our houses?

Here's the Soul 40mm clinchers. I wonder what kind of price we could get?

Aren't the Soul 4.0 already pretty cheap?
Groupsets would be my ideal; I missed out on those cheapo SRAM deals.

Sunlight and dry roads. I'll make the rest work swimmingly. Having said that, some nice deep (30+mm) section 32h AL rims would be nice.

No offense, but I don't get where you're coming from. Using Ebay to get a lower price on any item is possible, so by your logic why should group buys exist at all if everyone can just get things off of Ebay?
Again, I just don't understand what point you're trying to make.
