 Members pay $20 a year to be members.  You get a free year if you buy
 a frame or a bike.  I use this to justify buying at least one frame
 per year :).

Well:

I just used my rebate for a 3-year membership and a Mark's Rack (so I
can interchange my Platrack across multiple bikes).

I also am grateful for the fact that I can afford to own a Riv, and
that I work for a great company who does 2 for 1 charitable matches...
I am donating though my company to Smile Train... Thank you, Esteban
(and others) for reminding me to not always think about myself...

Peace,
BB

Hmmm my rebate certainly won't cover any of these completely but
might help subsidize one of the following...

1) olive SaddleSack TourSacks
2) olive SaddleSack Large (I am an unrepentant self-professed bag-
matcher and I'm sure could find a good home for my slightly-abused
black one)
3a) 40-spoke Dyad/Phil-IRD rear wheel from Wheelmaster Lesnik (got one
now but not for the #2 bike)
3b) 36-spoke Dyad/Phil front wheel from Wheelmaster Lesnik (don't have
one at all now)
4) pair of Marathon Supremes
5) SaddleSack Small (tweed, baby... tweed)
6) ooh... ooh... a Phil bottom bracket/rings/tools hmmm...
7) a hoody (okay, the rebate might cover the hoody)

Basically, that's a wish list. Really has nothing to do with the
rebate, I guess.

What I *should* get is the front wheel so I can have a nice strong
wheelset with cartridge bearings. That's what I *should* do. You know,
it's amazing how inconsistently that predicts what I actually do

Thomas Lynn Skean

...since I was fortunate enough to buy 3 frames this year (perhaps the
last 3 frames I buy), mine promises to be pretty good sized.  My list
includes (in no particular order):

1.  Marathon Duremes
2.  Nitto Big rear rack
3.  Nitto Big front rack
4.  A second Mark's rack
5.  A Rich-built dynamo front wheel
6.  Spare 650B stuff (rims and tires)

Platrack, Shopsack, Big Apples and some misc hardware for the
forthcoming Bombadil - with or without the rebate. BTW - I noticed
some new Nitto cable hangers that look fantastic. (link below)  I'll
probably pick up one of each for those inevitable re-hab projects that
seem to pop up, or to replace my Campy seatpost saddle support piece
I've used as a key fob for years. Unusual little bike parts as key
fobs = nifty!
