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

Yeah.. IMO it's a bit odd for a website to not have their sale items also on the applicable product-type pages (ie. Jerseys and Tops in this case).

Don't know if that is good or bad price, seems good to me.

Be careful, this is a 135mm rear hub.

Sorry for my ignorance. What's bad about a 135mm rear hub?

Depends on your bike/frame. Typical road bikes take 130mm rear hubs, mtb, disc and cyclocross, hybrids may take mostly 135mm. So, be careful you have the right hub width:

LBS is closing due to the owner retiring. The remaining contents of the store after the auction (which I missed! GRRR) is being sold for 80% off tag +tax. I picked up a bunch of stuff today and I'm going back tomorrow after I look to see what I need exactly.
Anyway, there is a 56cm Cervelo S5 frame (minus seatpost and fork) that I can grab for $280CAD. I don't ride triathlons. But, it would be so sweet to have a tri bike. So I'm kinda torn if I should get it or not. I know, I know, N=N+1. But I'm a little afraid of the cost of building it. I'm not sure if I trust the bars, forks and seat posts on ebay that come from China. Lets hear what you guys think of it. Could I even sell it and make some cash if I don't use it?
The other item is a Cervelo wall clock. It's at least 20" across, lights up and runs on 120v. The guy wants $100 for it. He said it cost him $600 in credits earned from buying stock from his supplier. I'd like to hear what you think of that deal, too.
Thanks.

That is a steal for that frame I assume, but without seatpost and fork.. youd have to factor in the cost of those.

Not all my clothing. A cycling jacket to keep me warm and dry though, is easily worth that. I make up for it in socks, which last decades.

Scroll down and check out the 9-speed. Still showing a card of 6 for $3.99. The 11-speed links were never discounted. Only the 9-speed links.

Thanks for this. I grabbed a pair of these for winter. Also stumbled across a superleggera wind jacket on sale. You gave me another month of riding before it's too cold!
