BADJUJU yes, I did save some money for my repair kit - I am going back to that shop in a week for a group ride for beginners and they show you how to use all of it, so I figured I'd just buy it then (already having sticker shock after all I got that day - so buying it on a different day makes it not feel so bad! LOL)

Hmmm I like firecracker....

I was thinking "they must be so happy I'm here - I'm buying everything" but then someone was checking out next to me with a bike almost TWICE what my bike and all my goodies combined cost LOL So I guess it's all relative - at least I felt like I got ALOT of stuff for my money
