The Good Deals Thread

I've seen more and more scammy stuff of Amazon as time goes on. They've become no better than wish dot com in my opinion

You can't check your brain at the door. As great as the free market economy is, it still requires some level of common sense and due diligence. No system is perfect but it is still better than the alternative. Without incentive to innovate we won't have all these cool toys to play with.

You should read the book 'Enshittification'. Amazon turned to shit by design

I'll pass. If I read every book somebody said I should read I wouldn't be able to waste my time doing anything else. I've been relying on my instincts, education, and observations and although I've made mistakes, I've learned from them and I'm doing quite fine by my measure. BTW, my comment is a general comment, not Amazon specific just to be clear. Although I have no interest in the frame/fork combo in question I did send a message to the seller asking about the fork. Still have not gotten an answer. Sometimes no message sends a greater message.
 
Sweet find on that Giro helmet! I was actually looking for a new one since my old lid is pretty beat up, but I need a medium. If anyone sees a deal on an Ionos or even a Synthe in other sizes, let me know. Good call on starting this thread, it's gonna be super helpful for keeping the gear costs down.
