Zoinks! Vector Comp front wheel for $25! A heavy tank that will last. Heck, throw it on your cross. This is a steal. I’m wheeled out.

Road Holland merino blend jerseys are pretty awesome and there are some on clearance and you can get an additional 20% off with code ORANGE.

The Hilversum, which I own, regularly priced at $120 can be had for $60. Super comfortable, stylish without being epic and endorsed by @gypsybug @lkono and Tales from the Sharrows

Manufactured in Miami and one of the owners lives/works in Richmond, VA
Go get one!

Also Aalsmeer ($60), Montfoort($52), and Breukelen($60) styles for the women!

Better run downstairs and see what disc brakes my bike has. Could just check the Surly website. Nah. better run downstairs. Actually, better go for a quick ride to see how close the brakes are to needing replacement. Be right back.

Fuji Cross 3.0 has Tiagra, I think?

A colleague of mine got one a bit over a year ago (on my recommendation to get a CX bike for commuting)… got hit by a vehicle recently though and the bike is totalled – as a result said colleague is upgrading to another new CX bike now.

Now that Sora doesn’t have the thumb buttons, doesn’t seem like there’s much to distinguish it from Tiagra anymore. Is Sora just 9spd? How are you liking the Sora bike you’ve been using?

Yeah, I guess you’re right. It looked like Sora from what I could see, but it was a 20 speed.

Yeah Sora’s just 9 speed I think.

I’ve been very happy with the 2013 Sora bike I’ve been on. I actually hadn’t been riding a standard road bike much for a while (either a CX or single speed – neither with a carbon fork) so it feels fairly zippy and comfy to me.

$54 including shipping for a mens FOX MTB short with detachable liner. Seems a pretty good deal.

I say I like it a lot for that price, even though it seems like every third bike is orange now. Get thee to [STRIKE]Balmer[/STRIKE] Carroll County.
