"Pro setup" on my handlebar order was for shipping fees. Couldn't resist getting some Burgtec bars at 73% off + 15% off, but I was able to resists getting a Dreadnought framset.

Ah. Thats where that comes from. $9.95 for small parts shipping. Mystery solved, yet still a bit confusing.

Just bought one of those Knollys, super boost be damned it checks all the other boxes and the price is insane right now. Really excited to have a hardtail again for riding down here.

Great deals on NF designs. Apparently legal issues with the old logo had then blowing out stock at 50% off

Also, a little known tidbit about 5:10's that I recently learned from a buddy is that the Addidas outlet in Richmond (or maybe Tsawassen? Can't remember) has 5:10 shoes at half off. So if you need to try stuff on, then head out there if you have patience for suburban style parking lots!

If it is Tsawassen Mills you're in luck - that mall & parking lot are super spacious and super empty. All. The. Time.  I also find it incredibly bizarre that for every 4 or 5 stores there is a place that rents ride-on toys/vehicles just to get around the mall.

Its not Tsawassen Mills, its the McArthurGlen outlets near the airport in Richmond.

20%, but in 7mesh prices that will save me like a grand.

Long pined for a vest like the  Chilco.

Bah, wasn’t meant to be. The Chromag Wideangle I ordered was oversold and is not available in black pearl. Dave called to make it right, however I’m not overly high on the impala color offered. So, gonna keep on with the steel hardtail I have

So instead I might invest in some shorter cranks and/or suspension service/tuning on the fork. Some new shoes sounds good too

ooof, good deals at Dunbar right now if you're after Hope gear, cheapest Tech4E4s this side of pretty much anywhere, including the UK. Pro4 hubs going for almost half price as well.

Still trying to convince myself on a Chromag - leaning more to Rootdown than Stylus as I can pull the front end off and run my Warden mullet if I want to. Waffling on a M/L vs a L. Only one more day for the sale.

It's worth throwing a leg over both sizes if you can.  I read somewhere that hardtails typically feel about 15mm to 20mm longer in the reach department than a full suspension and was expecting a M/L Rootdown to fit me perfect with its 463mm reach (my full suspension fits great with a reach of 468mm) and I was surprised how small it felt.

I still think the M/L is probably the right size for me - but I would like to try an L before purchasing for sure.

I'm pretty sure there will be more sales coming soon; boxing day, new years, lunar new year...
