This time last year all the online bike stores had totally lost their minds and SLASHED prices to the bone, I for one was personally foaming at the mouth whilst simultaneously setting my credit cards on fire.

this year ....? nothing! and this year I actually have money to spend grrrr!!!!

I need to buy something cycling marked down that I dont really need. :evil:

Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    They all had their sales before Christmas so you're too late.

    Set up a website to sell some of your as yet unopened stuff. Then buy it at knockdown prices. You could even discount the carriage to yourself.
    Spend the proceeds on keeping a pub afloat.

    And spend the savings on some other bike stuff.
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    :?
    So sell your own stuff back to yourself at a discount?
    And spend the savings on some other bike stuff.
    Or... reinvest the savings by selling them back to yourself a second time, again at a discount.

    Repeat ad infinitum. Bargain. Free money.

    Next, can we invent a perpetual motion wheelset.
