Why do I have a funny feeling that right after you tell Michelle that you're buying ANOTHER bike you'll look down towards your feet only to find them obscured by the loops of your own intestines?
Actually, she didn't seem to mind at all. Besides, the other two bikes replaced two bikes (and I made money above the purchase price from the sale of one of the old bikes).
I ordered something once from Performance Bike about three weeks ago, and ever since I've been inundated with sales and coupons.
Normally I toss the catalogs in the trash and delete the emails because Performance doesn't carry many big ticket items I'm interested in. The small stuff is too inexpensive to bother with coupons and such. For some reason, I flipped through this catalog and saw the frame.
FWIW, I ordered it this morning. I had it shipped to the local store, but I still had to pay the "oversize" shipping premium (otherwise, it would be $48 to ship to the house). Total cost was $182, which is a steal for a frame like this. Similar frames from Surly, Pake, etc run $300+. Hell, it's probably made in the same Taiwanese factory as the others, just given a different paint job and decal set (very common in the bike industry).
