    www.sierratradingpost.com has a HUGE sale going on right now... everything that is on clearence is 70-80% off the retail price, and they have a bunch of bike shorts and some jerseys for $20 or less.... definately worth a look.

    Keep a look out and you can get some pretty good deals.

    Ebay - I was afraid to ask who buys off Ebay - glad I'm not the only one. There are some excellent bargains on Ebay. I also shop Performance Bicycle, Bike Nashbar, Sierra Trading Post, and REI. I never pay full price.

    You can buy a cycling liner short for about $20. They kind of look like boxers with a chamois pad and then you can wear shorts or pants over them. Very comfortable, versatile and economical.
    Just keep pedaling.

    Ebay Ebay Ebay, that's how I get and sell a lot of my stuff and I'm living on a very small budget. Also, talk to some local riders in your area and they might be able to hook you up with stuff.
    Another thing, and I know this is gonna sound kinda silly, but if your birthday comes around or something like that and people ask what you want, go for gift certificates to the LBS that you like. It helped me get some new tires and shorts
    The people here on this forum are very knowledgeable and can send you to sites that give good deals. Don't be afraid to ask and welcome to the riding world!
