Is that still a thing?
We never paid ticket price for anything. We bought second hand bikes dirt cheap, and upgraded them.
Every purchase of gear in a bike shop was a negotiation. Either a healthy discount off the ticket price, or thrown in add-ons, eg. Free tyre and tube with a wheel build, free inner tubes with tyres, free cleats with Sidi shoes, or a free seatpost with a saddle.
