I know I’m not the only one that checks out Craigslist.org every single day…I know you’re out there. I’m always on the look out for vintage bikes, I love those things! Plus it cracks me up to see some dumb ads where people think they can sell their 1995 mountain bike that is “barely ridden”……

This week’s Deal Day special, we are going to visit with some products that I’ve been using from Pricepoint.com . The first item I’d like to introduce is the Sette Reken frame that we used to build up a “Brother on a Budget” single speed. This frame is priced reasonably well, $99. I also used…
