Bike Nashbar

5.37 miles today(4/13). Just another day of riding my bike to work and back. Total milege for 3 days since the bike blog began is 16.18 miles.

If your a bargain shopper then check out Nashbars Return Center
If people return something they bought they slap it in this section. Some good deals to be found sometimes. Just bookmark it and check it every few days. Theres alot of various cycling clothes. If your not looking for clothing items then you won't find much.

Back in the regular section of Nasbar website they got the Shimano Alivio Rear Derailleur for $19.99.
In the catalog they have the upgraded Shimano Deore Rear Derailleur for $17.99. Why do they give it to you cheaper over the phone for a catalog order instead of a cheaper price for the website order. Most companies try to encourage you to buy from the website instaed of over the phone. This saves them the cost of designing/publishing/ and mailing the catalog out. It also cuts the cost down because you don't have to pay a worker to be taking the order over the phone.

Maybe it's the old upsell 'em game . I don't know, never ordered from them yet but they do have good deals on a lot of their products.
