"I saw this deal, and thought someone might like it" thread.

anyone heard of these guys? I know it’s a kickstarter-type operation, and they need to get the molds together, then outsource the manufacturing.
All said, it seemed like a good price, and very reflective, if you don’t need them until October.

On the other hand, why do this instead of Schwalbe Marathons, Vittoria Randonneurs, Flack Jacket, or other reflective sidewall tires (28mm)?

Damn, too bad my wife has given me a two bike limit. They’d be a perfect addition to the stable.

2012 Orbea Terra, $600. Good deal or too good?

You obviously haven’t been biking very long. Every cyclist has a laundry list of why they need another bike. You can never have too many. Just like every woman needs a new pair of shoes, a man needs a new bike.

Tell your wife it is needed for medical reasons. You can’t possibly be expected to get exercise every day on only two bikes. They cannot possibly cover every weather or road condition you might encounter. A cyclocross is a necessity!

Then offer to buy her a new pair of shoes…

I think the EC90s themselves retail for over $800. I would have expected a bit more detail about the bike and its history.

Oh, I have. We just happen to have very little space for bikes living in a high rise. Once we relocate to the Twin Cities I’ll start adding to the stable.

I have never met a woman that collects shoes; perhaps we just navigate very different social circles.

I was going to suggest that a more generally applicable version of that quote may be “just like every woman needs a new bike, a man needs a new bike.”

hm, I own only two bicycles, but three pairs of bicycling shoes. If I understand you correctly, I believe I need another bike. 😎

Yes, I think that is always true.

You’ve made me realize I also have more shoes than bikes. I am trying to give away some of the ones that don’t fit right so I will only have 6 pair instead of 8 … But that still makes me short a couple bikes. Disc-brake road bike here I come!

Wonder if it’s the original seller or someone who got very lucky with the original posting.
