| Goodales will be participating in a Nation Wide
three day Sale (Latest Issue of Cyclist) starting
Friday the 31st at noon. I'd say that the week of
the 26th is when they will be wheeler-dealing on
the bikes that they have in inventory at that time.

| 1031.3 | How about accessories? | SCAACT::AINSLEY | Less than 150 kts is TOO slow | Thu Sep 10 1992 19:13 | 8 |
| In another note, someone mentioned that bikes would be going on sale in
October, (it's past the end of the riding season, but before the
Christmas rush). When, if ever, do things like clipless pedal,
shifters, etc. go on sale?
Thanks,
Bob

| 1031.4 | components go on sale... | SHALOT::ELLIS | John Lee Ellis - assembly required | Thu Sep 10 1992 19:18 | 17 |
| 1031.5 | also the best time to get quick turnaround for repairs | NOVA::FISHER | Rdb/VMS Dinosaur | Thu Sep 10 1992 20:33 | 17 |
| Yeah, gotta watch for those Hot Pink inner tubes.
Some of the dealers have Super Sales around the last weekend of March
and the first weekend of August. Schwinn (can I say that here?)
Madness is in the spring about 1 week after Super Sale. Gus' in
North Hampton, NH, has a clearance around September 1. I figure it's
because the beach traffic is leaving town.
John Bocko (owner of Gus' International Bike Shop) tells me he's
finally sold almost everything except the really tall of really short
bikes and the colors nobody wanted. I guess "almost" is relative
because it still looks like he's got a lot of stuff but a lot less
than he had in June.
Slow times and best prices are usually October and March.

| I asked the question as I would like to get some clipless pedals from
Santa and would like to know when I should tell Mrs. Santa to go snag
the ones I want.

| It would be challenging for Mrs Santa to find exactly what you want,
but if an elf were to scout the shops first and then drop the hints
it might be easier. Nashbar and Performance also often have end of
year close-outs.

| And sometimes you can really luck out with the mail-order close-outs.
A few months ago I ordered a pair of LOOK PP56s (entry level) that Nashbar had
on close-out. They were back-ordered. Around the predicted date a box arrived
with a set of pedals - The pedals were PP76s though - two models up!

| re: .7
Mrs. Claus will receive a DETAILED wish list with part numbers and
contact name.
re: .8
Since I'm likely to require special fitting for my right foot, I don't
think mail order is the way to go for this.
