Got a couple things from it. Sram x-9 Derailleur for 15bucks, xt front d for 10, Surly Singleator for 10bucks, Fox Float shox for 40 bucks. It was pretty good. Less stuff this year and a lot more people. Scratch and dent stuff was gone fast!

Dang , I'm in need of an x-9 to get my DH bike back rolling . I've been thinking it would cost 80-90$ .

I was able to pick up some good stuff. The best was a Jamis Dakar frame, w/ 4" Fox Vanilla coil over shock, Truvativ Fire X cranks ans Isis BB for $70!! Their explanation of the low price, was that somebody cranked the crank bolts too tight and they were frozen and would need to be drilled out. Well, even if that was the case, drilling those out is a 10 minute job, so my dad and I both got one.

When we got home, we hooked up my dad's air-impact wrench and popped them all loose in about 1 minute--no drilling required. We then transferred all the parts over from our old Trek 4500 HT's and BOOM--new FS back-up bikes instead of old HT's!! Everything transferred over so easy. My seatpost was even the right size. The only thing that didn't work, was the rear brake cable (we run mech discs) was about 5 inches too short. However--all the housing segments were the same on each frame, so that was cool.

I also got an Azonic full face helmet for $40 and a set of Sun Rhynolites with Deore hubs for $35.

I'm surprised Jenson didn't try the air-wrench, I'm sure they have one or two lying around in their shop. Anyways, nice haul Pacman. I wouldn't be surprised if a few guys/gals camped out for the sale.

Saw a bunch of those frames laying around. The Vanilla coil didn't have any rebound adjustment so we passed on it.
