Some good deals I found...

I am always surfing the web for awesome deals but sometimes I just don't need them or the deal is not in my size. I'm gonna start posting these deals on my blog randomly as a second blog of the day to just spread the word.


 For example

These are the exact shoes are the exact shoes my friend Billy rides with for only $39 bucks! If you have a smaller size foot, buy these carbon shoes asap, they are $170 road shoes.

I just purchased these shoe covers for $4.50 and they do the job of blocking some of the cold wind off my toes.


I also got this beenie to cover my delicate ears. Works perfect and only costed me $4 bucks last week, price went up on it now but its still a good deal

NASHBAR.com has some real good deals going on right now so check them out too.

Chinese 12k / 3k Carbon Triathlon Time Trial eBay frames, Are they good?...


Been trying to get some info on these time trial frames that have been selling on eBay for quite a while.  First of all they look awesome!  And for under $600 they are a steal!  Well I'm a true believer in "get what you pay for" and well whenever you look at a deal that is too good to be true... it usually is.


It sort of looks like a Trek up front and a Specialized transition in the back.  Not a bad combo.  From what I've been reading, pretty much there are only three factories that make frames for all the major brand bike companies.  These come from those factories so I assume that they have the same quality control as the likes of Trek and Giant.  One could argue that they do not have the R&D that the other companies have put into their frames, such as wind testing and weight reduction.  But I am not THOR, I'm do not really mind losing half a second on my TT due to the drag. Must keep researching but damn it's tempting....

New Helmet...to me.

I would have never thought of ever getting one of those ultra light, ultra expensive, ultra cool helmets. Well, I have been very lucky to get good deals on things and I pickup a new to me Giro Ionos and Giro Atmos helmet. Could not pass up on the deal.  I will review them later and see what's the deal with these $$ helmets compared to my first helmet the Giro Indicator which you can get at your local sporting good store for around 35 bucks.  is it worth paying 259 for a helmet? I'll find out.
