Dang it!
But I can justify everything I bought, really!! I needed another pair of panniers which are exactly like the ones I already have! And the garment bag pannier, because I might get to commute to work someday! (Oh, yes, I might! I know I can't do it now, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to someday! Stop that laughing!!) The extra little lights -- good for backup! Very small and light! -- were under $6! How could I pass those up?!?! A safety vest is always a good idea, I'm sure you'll agree, especially since I want to be able to ride at night. And they were a bargin; of course I needed an extra! Yes, I already have a handlebag and an underseat bag, but the first could be a little larger, and the other is looking very dirty these days, plus one of the letters of the brandname has come clean off! And and and... the other stuff, I might give to someone else, really, I might, and the prices were sooo good, I knew I should snap these items up now, while the prices were soooo good, and yes, I really might give the other stuff to someone else!
Yes, yes, I needed this stuff; I saved a bundle by buying it!! Really!!!!

After the various customer service issues with Nashbar and Performance, I steer clear of them. Truth is that I trust neither w/my credit card info. Isn't Nashbar the one whose site was hacked and then it took them months to inform customers that their credit card info was compromised? IIRC, Performance was charging just a little more than what was on your invoice to your credit card (this was 18 months or so, I think---I found out about it from folks on TE who noticed it).

I was one of the folks whose info was stolen. Luckily I had already cancelled the card for a different reason, so no harm done.
I'm sure Nashbar and Performance are being much more careful these days. (but I'm no longer one of their customers)"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Yup, me too. Luckily my cc company caught it and canceled my card and issued me a new one. I know everyone makes mistakes, but one strike of this sort and you're out with me.

The thing that ticked me off about the Nashbar data breach was that the coupon they sent me in apology was only good for 30 days after the date of the letter (and of course I received the letter at least a week later than it was dated). Data breaches happen, but that seemed like crappy customer care to me.
