Don't know if its my best bargin, but my most recent...

Just picked up a 94 Zaskar LE Team with ringle wheels, ringle skewers, Judy XC, Paul cantis, xt with cnc pulleys and hyperlite bar for 100 american.

I bought it for the blue ringle bits, fork with AC products brace, and blue bar. The frame, USA made GT crank, and a few other pieces I posted on Ebay yesterday to pay for the stuff I'm keeping. Hopefully, it'll be a wash...now that's a deal!

cheers,

Agree the web's transparency makes it harder to find bargains - but on the other hand you're much more likely to find what you are looking for.

That's karma

This york cycleshow sounds like it might be worth a visit.

The ibis ti for Â£440 also sounds like a bit of a steal.
