^^^ thanks for the review site, it led me to the performance bike website where i decided to order this:

http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1111869_-1_400133__400133

reg $200, on sale for $130, plus black friday special of another 20% off works out to $104. they also offer free shipping (14-21 days) but charge $35 for an oversized item . if you select the fedex shipping for $19 (7-10 days) the oversize charge drops to $14 - so same price but you get it faster vs the free shipping.

i only plan to use it occaisionally and mostly for short interval workouts.
the reviews are positive so for $136 it's seems to be the best deal around by far for a trainer.

sale is on until sunday

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

But where are you shipping it to? My recollection of the last time I ordered to Canada from Performance is that they shipped Fedex who of course charged the extortionate "brokerage fee" before they would deliver.

My $100'ish order became $300.

The only time I order from Performance now is for in store delivery when I know I'm going to be south and I can pick it up in Scottsdale.

hmmmm - maybe i'll swithc back to usps free shipping then.

Yeah, always take the USPS option.

Unless you buy something from Jenson, which awesomely provides an "all-in, duty, everything" guaranteed price to Canada (and they ship via UPS so it's quick). Not always the rock bottom cheapest, but often very competitive and very convenient.
