Man, I really do miss the good 'ol day when I could still do the impulse buys, but ever since I got married it had to stop!
Oh, I'm sure the wife won't be happy when the wheelset box shows up on the doorstep, but what the hell... :blah:

Just explain it in a language they understand. "Well originally it was $XXX, but I got it for $XX, so really I saved $XX by buying it." My wife uses that ALL the time:think:

For free! Score. How'd that happen?
One of my DH teammates won it last year at a race and isn't planning on using it and he knows I was looking for a front brake for my Steelhead. I'll probably try to give him some cash for it, but I doubt if he'll take it.

Nice scores Tigg

I need to decide on a used seatpost or something new from an online retailer. Went to a shop near where I work and they wanted to charge me $65.00 for an FSA FR seatpost that I've seen at other places for half that.

Westy's Thomson offer is looking better and better.

What post do you need, Mark??? I had a FSA that I got for $40. I sold it to Spunger. I hope it worked for him.
