In the same vein, Tree Fort’s got a bunch of Foundry bikes und frames on ridiculous sale too: http://www.treefortbikes.com/cat/0/927/Foundry-Cycles.html#navbar=cat___1__.927___0___0

Looks like just the rim-brake bikes/frames, though? Too bad. Now I *really* wanted a Foundry, but their 105-spec bike cost the same as my Sram Force build. Couldn’t quite justify.

Ah, I didn’t notice that pattern – was busy making googly eyes at the Colossal.

I do like foundry’s frames, mainly because they aren’t rolling adverts.

Yeah, I love the Foundries. I am still toying with the idea of eventually getting a Whisky No 9 fork for my road bike; I think the 15mm thru-axle is something I would appreciate, given how much nicer the 9mm thru-axle is w/ my standard QR fork. Or maybe I wouldn’t feel the difference. I haven’t been able to justify $550 for something that may prove very subtle

Chainlove has been running Lezyne lights heavily today at awesome prices. Power Drive XL for $50 and Super Drive XL for $60 which are both great prices. I have both the Mini Drive XL and the Power Drive XL and looooove them. I was able to find some quality Li-Ion batteries online and now have an ample supply that I can keep at work and at home. http://www.cleansnipe.com (soon to become http://www.gearmarket.com) is a good place to track Chainlove deals and see past ones.

I haven’t seen it on their site yet but maybe they’ll pony up the Mega Drive at some point before the day’s out.

Saw Dirt’s newer PFB jersey this morning at FCC. Turns out they don’t any jerseys in my size, but they did have bib shorts in my size for $40 shipped.

Hudson Trail Outfitters at Fairfax Circle have some cycling shoes at 70% off($30 to $40 after discount). They have like 10 left for men shoes, and about 15 to 20 women shoes. Most men shoes are of size 43 to 45, some 46, and the biggest size is 47.

They had this sale for a while(warehouse clearance), seems annual. They had some cycling clothes for 60% off, but I am not sure if this is still on.

This sale is only at their Fairfax location, not Arlington(Pentagon City). I am about 2 miles from there, so if you want me to check something out for you, let me know.

Their web site may not show what’s on sale, they only recently added online ordering, but if you click on “Outlet” and “Just Reduced” on the far right, you would see some items.

UPDATE May 26: It seems that they removed all shoes in the last 7 days, so they are no longer available.

Below is the list of cycling shoes that they have on clearance as of Saturday 4/26 (price changed for some shoes, so it’s between $30 and $50). Some notes:

• Since they don’t have many sizes, you might be tempted to buy a size that is slightly too large or slightly too small. Sizes from different brands and sometimes from the same brand; but from a different style, don’t fit in the same way, so you can’t try size 43 from one style, finding it to be too small, then try size 44 from a different style.
• Make sure that the shoe fits you without wiggle room, to take advantage of the power transfer. Hold the bottom of the shoe with both hands and shake it in different directions, including up and down and sideways.
• If you buy the wrong shoes for $30, and the right shoes for you costs $100, then you would spend $130 to get the right shoes, so get the right one the first time to save money. Currently they provide $20 store credit for spending $100 or more(Till Wednesday April 30), so $100 shoes would cost $80. They have similar offers every now and then.
• I am not an expert, I have only been biking for a year, so I don’t know a lot about cycling shoes. I have only begin using cycling shoes for few weeks.
• I don’t work for them. Never have, never will(I am a software developer).

If I were a size smaller I’d get these.

I’m on the look out for a pair of Specialized Defrosters in 45, I’d greatly appreciate a heads if someone comes across a pair. (Have these been reviewed in the forum?)

Not a deal or anything but if anyone wants to gawk at some new bike pictures on their lunch break (or elevenses), there’s a decent sized bike section in the digital edition of the latest Outside Magazine Buyer’s Guide (free):

I am going to buy a Vassago Fisticuff just because the name is awesome. And also the bike is awesome.

REI annual sale starts today. They have the Yuba Mundo on sale. Wrong place to ask for reasons not to buy this, right?
