I'm surfing the Web looking at cycling stuff. I accept that I have some gear to replace — helmet, gloves, skins — but
I'm very concerned about my bicycle being maintainable. (One question I asked yesterday: Are LOOK pedals still a thing?
Seems they ARE.)
So far, I'm bummed that Specialized doesn't appear to be making helmets anymore. They had the coolest designs for years
and years.
What Happened to My Mail Order Companies?
So, Nashbar and Performance are the same company now?
I loved getting their catalogues back in the 80s and 90s (before the Internet). I lived in some pretty remote places,
and those that had bike shops catered to a market that wanted cruisers, not road bikes, so if I needed gear, Performance
and Nashbar were my go-to solution.
I don't *think* they were the same company back then, but it's completely obvious now: reviews on one site
also appear on the other, and their layouts are exactly the same, save for some font changes.
