Hi, I'm Eli and I'm addicted to Bonktown.

Shoes, tights, gloves, gels, a helmet, an entire bike! I buy everything!!

Best part about impulse shopping at that price is you can usually turn around and sell it here with minimal loss if you don't love it. Although there hasn't been one thing to date I've bought there that I didn't love :)


Chainlove is another biking one :)

Luckily I am in Canada which makes most of the deals not so great due to the expensive UPS shipping they use to here. Otherwise, yeah, I'd have a problem. :)

So you're the guy who buys complete bikes! :) I always see like "1 sold" and wonder who is buying whole bikes on an impulse like that. But yeah, I've bought lots of small stuff like tires, jerseys, and lights from those sites.

gearscan.com is the devil in disguise.
it monitors:
bontown, steepandcheap, whiskeymilitia, and all those other sites.....so bad, but yet so good.
more stuff shipped to the office! oh yea.

Oh yeah, I bought lights too!

The complete bike was a fixie! @ 150 you couldn't POSSIBLY say no. That's the price of 2 tubies...which i've ALSO bought there :)

ODAT app for Iphone...keeps track of all listed above sites!

Good times! Never any money to buy food :)

Oh okay, that makes sense! Sometimes I see people buying $700 triathlon bikes, which I guess is a pretty good price for a tri bike.

I think I saw one of the fixies in real life recently. It was the Cutter one.

Yup, that's the one!

Although I'd like to build up a new one now...a bit more tricked out. Disk, aerospokes :)

that site and its backcountry.com-related relatives are internet crack for gear whores...thus, I spend lots of time there.

That Cutter fixie caught my eye when it popped up bc I liked the grey one with the lime green logo. Then I saw it in real life, which was cool. I thought it looked better online though. I already have too many bikes of every kind... but damn, I keep shopping and planning my next one.

I'm addicted and check any chance i can get (at least 20+ times a day).
The best deal I've got where a pair of tri shoes shimano TR-70 retail for $349 and they were 94% off at $19.99.
Heat moldable, carbon.
Bought them for the wifey as she's a size 38 and they only has small sizes.
Best deal yet.

Picked a couple up.

I installed the add-on for CHrome that shows me a little pop-up everytime the deal changes. Saves me from having to go back and check the site every 30 mins.

TriAnotherDay.com

yeah- but it also pisses me off. I spend way too much time checking it. If I amortized my savings over the amount of time I spent- it would be an embarassing calculation. Plus- I bought a pair of Capo bibshorts two weeks ago, and I've been checking every day for the matching shirt to come around. which I had missed and was up there right before the bibshorts.

I sure wish my body fit into a Blue Triad SL frame. Great deals on that bike that keep coming around.

How often do framesets come up on bonk?

if you google the product that you're looking to buy, you can usually find for similar prices other places online. just an FYI.

There is a QRoo seduzza frame up right now!!! I am tempted .....very tempted ;0)

I'm in the same boat - I only needed to make that mistake once. I emailed them pleading with them to offer shipping via USPS, but they didn't respond.

The Capo jersey is back... haha Bonktown rules, but I generally only use it for shoes, the Shimano Custom fits and a pair of those Mavic Huez to mess around with...

hah! I just bought it. (the matching capo jersey to the bibshorts I got 2 weeks ago)
Good thing I check it every 20 min.

chainlove.com mtn cycling
bonktown.com road cycling
steepandcheap.com outdoor stuff
whiskeymilitia.com snowboard stuff

these are all a part of backcounty.com or backcountryoutlet.com

Two pair of shoes, wetsuit, speed suit, CX tires, lights, cassette, I have lots of stuff from both sites.

American Classic 58 Tubular Wheelset up now for $949! I feel bad for the guy who is trying to sell them on here for $1000
