418.0. "Nashbar outlet deal..." by NAC::CAMPBELL () Tue Aug 11 1987 13:19

    I was at the Nashbar outlet store last night and I noticed that
    they have Suntour Superbe Pro front derailures for $8.00!!!
    
    The only problem is that they're the braze on type and the conversion
    kit will cost as much as the original price ($39).
    
    In case anyone can use it!!!

418.1How did you like the store?STRATA::DESHARNAISWed Aug 12 1987 15:265
    Is this the store that recently opened in Boston?  Was it worth
    the trip?
    
    Thanks,
    Denis

418.3Inquiring minds want to knowULTRA::SEIDEN_2 outs, 2 strikes, 2 run lead...Wed Aug 12 1987 20:514
    Uninformed folks get informed by doing a DIR/TITLE=NASHBAR and
    discovering that note 342 discusses the Nashbar Outlet store in
    Needham, MA, including directions.

418.5Indeed, an excuse *TO* buy it would take some thinking upMENTOR::REGMy new suit is wetMon Oct 19 1987 15:382
        re .4	Huh ?	You just listed all the reasons to *NOT* buy it. 
418.6A lot of triathletes have paid $700 for the same basic bikeCIMNET::JOHNSONMatt JohnsonMon Oct 19 1987 16:545
    In a way, I agree with you.  However, I'm thinking of taking up
    cyclocross, and I didn't want to submit my GOOD bike to that 
    torture....

418.7Fine for nowTACHYN::ROSKILLMovin' to Montana soon, gonna be a dental floss tyconTue Oct 20 1987 14:188
    
    Thanks Matt and sorry snobs, but I got down to Needham yesterday
    and got a 23" Race SIS.  I would really like the Vitus 579, but
    with the 600 SIS set up it's around a grand.  Now I have something
    alot better than my Puch ( that finding 8th is an artform), and
    when I get $500.00 I'll buy the Vitus frame and transfer components,
    and still wind up at only $850.00.
                 
418.8Good stuff cheapRICKS::SPEARThe Culture PenguinSat Dec 12 1987 16:0014
Hey all you tall and short riders out there.  I dropped by the Nashbar outlet
store last night to get my bike fix, and saw a couple of good deals.   The
first is their Race SIS bike, $349.  If you can take a pink frame, 600 SIS
components, and a 24" or 25" (or maybe larger) this looks like a very good
buy.  I have two bikes already so I had to say no.   (Hey Scott C, check it
out - Laura said they were your size)  But then, just around the corner,
cleated shoes for $5 and $10.  I don't remember the brands, but the sizes only
went up to 40, which is about a woman's 8 1/2, or men's 6-1/2.  My girlfriend,
who biked twice last year, decided for $5 she couldn't go wrong. She now has
cleated shoes and I don't!  If you have smaller feet, check it out, ya'all!

See this note and 342 for directions and hours.

418.9Wellllllll...AMUN::CRITZPavarotti loses 85Mon Dec 14 1987 12:0311
    	RE: 418.8
    
    	Well..., I'm just finishing a bedroom for daughter #2. If
    	I were to buy a new bike (which I can't afford and have
    	no place to store), my wife would probably be looking for
    	another husband (who doesn't bike).
    
    	Anyway, it would be a good excuse to go there anyway, even
    	though I can't afford a good cable housing right now.
    
    	Scott (happy for big frames)
