I'm always on the lookout for cheap stuff, whether I need it or not, when I visit bike shops. I like being a dumpster diver and searching for treasure in the discount bins because under all that dust can be something really neat.
For example, a couple of years ago Nytro was clearing out aerobar pads for discontinued aerobars. Ten bucks a pair! Score!
More recently, I was at the Bike Barn in Penticton. I scored a set of Syntace C-3 bars for 30 bucks (sans pads, but whatever).
After I got home I slapped them on my road bike. The next day I took it on a ride. Waaaaay more comfortable than the front end of my QR Cd 0.1 with the Vision Tech that I had fitted last spring bu Jonny O.
Those 30 buck bars are now going on the QR!
Here's the question!
What piece of "vintage" equipment/technology/clothing are you still using, or have gone back to using?
What tri-gadget has stood the test of time for you?
