  1. I just got a catalogue from them. Now, in my mind, mail-order shopping,
    if nothing else, is supposed to be cheap. Not these guys:

    Campagnolo jerseys: $89.95
    Campagnolo gloves: $49.95
    Campagnolo bottle cages: Chorus $84.95, Record $119.95 (they do come with
    a "free" bottle).
    Wipperman titanium chain $369.95
    Campagnolo chain tool $99.95

    Now, some of the stuff was reasonably priced, but sheesh. $100 for a
    chain tool? $120 for a water bottle cage? $370 for a chain that would
    have to wear out faster than a steel one?

    I would suggest that you not order any of those items. That'll show em.

  3. FREE BOTTLE?!?!

    Mark me down for a few of the Record cages..

    These guys are located a couple of blocks from my house. Nice guys,
    but their business model seems to be committed to Full List Price.
    Their retail area is more boutique than bike shop, with a wall full
    of Colnagos priced commensurately with the parts you list above.
    Their annual warehouse sale offers pretty good deals, though.
