    I was at the Rockville location today. Still a wide selection of bikes left, plus plenty of clothing so long as you’re not an “extreme” size (i.e., XS or XL and up). Things were 20-40% off regular price with a bonus 10% – so didn’t seem too different from a normal day.

    I just realized I had $85 in performance bucks. I got a (hopefully) nice new jacket, and the tools to replace my cassette now that I know how to do it. I paid all of $8 for everything.

    Good news was shipping over $49 is still free online, even if you use your performance bucks. Hopefully the jacket fits though since they said it’s all final sale.

    I was at Vienna location last Friday, the store seemed full of stuff, including clothing and bikes. It seems that the best deals would be after Christmas. Breakdown:

    30% Garmin/GoPro. Left(Prices are after the discount): 3x Garmin Edge 130($140), 1x Garmin Vivoactive HR – GPS Smartwatch($175), 2x GoPro Hero 5 Black($210).
    30% Oakley sunglasses.
    40% Men’s clothing, Socks, and Gloves. I have no idea if this is different from their normal sales as I don’t usually buy cycling clothes.
    50% Women’s clothing, Women Socks/Gloves at 40%.
    50% Wheels.
    40% Tires/Tubes.
    30% Shimano components.
    40% All other stuff: Water bottles/Cages, Shoes, Helmets, Pedals, Lights(limited number left), Pumps, Racks, Fenders, Panniers, Saddles, Bike Storage, Trainers, Bike tools, Handlebars/Grips/Tapes.

    Bikes are at 20-35% from MSRP, which is not much different from their normal sales.

    Update: Vienna location is now advertising 50% off everything including Garmin/GoPro, with the exception of women cloths(60%), Bikes(30%), E-Bikes(40%). They seem to have full set of bikes. GoPro cameras sold out, but the 3 overpriced Garmin Edge 130($199 Original price, SKU: 406228) are still there. All Continental tires sold out, or taken off the shelves. I noticed that GatorSkin is not available online either. They still have a lot of cloths left, but it seems to have gone down a bit.

    In the last week, I visited 5 locations, generally the ones further away from major trails have the bigger discounts. Here are the locations I visited, and when:

    Springfield, VA(Friday 1/4): 30-50%
    Vienna, VA(Monday 12/31): 50-70%
    Reston, VA(Sunday 1/6): 30-50%
    Gaithersburg, MD(Yesterday 1/5): 50-70%
    Rockville, MD(Yesterday 1/5): 30-50%

    I think I am going to visit Reston and Vienna locations again today, and update this listing.

    Rockville location has one Garmin Edge 1000 left(as of yesterday). Reston location as of Tuesday, had several Garmin: 130(sold out), 500(sold out), 510(x1), 820(x2), Garmin Vector 2 Power Meter Pedals – Standard (12-15mm), one left. Vienna location Garmin/Wahoo stuff gone the weekend after reaching 30%. I took photos, but not for everything. I don’t remember, but I think they have few Garmin left, possibly Wahoo, I am not sure. It’s best to call. They open 12-5 PM today.

    “Last week, Specialized Bicycle agreed to buy the Roubaix bike trademark for the U.S. from ASE . . .”

    I see lawsuits in the future.

    I visited Vienna and Reston locations yesterday. Vienna location is closing tomorrow(and I assume Gaithersburg location as well). All the bikes at Vienna location are gone, except one, a kid bike. Two weeks before closing, they hauled away most of the good bikes, perhaps to a third party, etc. Reston location is not closing for another 4 weeks(and perhaps Springfield/Rockville as well), and my guess is that they would remove/sell the good bikes in about 2 weeks, if the pattern holds. From visiting Vienna location often, most of the good stuff is sold on weekends. If you want to get a bike that is common size, I suggest that you don’t wait more than next weekend. Good bikes will only drop 10% further if you wait. I am visiting Vienna location again today, so if you want to know if they have a part that you want, please let me know.

    The two bikes in this image, are Fuji Absolute 1.1 2018, sizes 15/21/23 available. They are flat bar with 2×11 speed drive train, I almost bought one, but my size 17″ wasn’t available.

    Please view the full size of these over WiFi. Total size of all images is 341 MB. If you plan to get to the Vienna location from the W&OD, try the new Vesper Street Trail at Tysons.

    Vienna location was advertizing 70% yesterday, 80% today, and probably 90% tomorrow. I was there around 3 PM. Here is a gallery of everything left:

    Some highlights:

    – Spokes are $5/Box, all seem to be DT Swiss brand, Spoke nibbles too.
    – Saddles are $5 each.
    – Square Tapper Bottom brackets that are left are odd size, Italian 70mm. They seem to have few Octalink, not sure if they have any ISIS Drive.
    – Various wrenches at $2 each.
    – Cardboard shipping boxes are $8 each.

    They open tomorrow from 12 to 5.

    Thanks for the pics- when I went by at 5:00pm Saturday things were looking a bit sparse. Got a shopworn Fuji Velo saddle take-off (2012 Fuji Tahoe?) for $5 and two spare inner tubes for $1.39 each.

    Clicked on the Nashbar email I received today and saw they had just about nothing for sale other than a few bikes. For clothing, there’s a rain pant and a bib.

    Yep, same. Not sure who’s going to fill the void for me, after my experience with a totally mundane, $50 shipment from Chain Reaction getting hung up in Customs and the company giving a massive corporate shrug about that.

    For non-LBS purchases, I’ve loved Western Bikeworks, and have had decent luck with Jenson.

    I didn’t buy from Chain Reaction when I was looking at bikes because of the Customs issue; bought here from Spokes instead.

    I had always had iffy luck with Nashbar, but I did want to replace the cycling sandals I got from them like 10 years ago.
