    would def be in on mtb shorts and jerseys, if the price is right of course. hopefully a vendor sees this!

    i also think a dedicated forum for vendors to advertise would be even more sweet! the other forum im on has this and its probably one of the most popular forums on the site. advertiser specials, promotions, discounts, and news. and to top it off, since they're advertising, str can charge monthly, or yearly, for vendor fees and what not.

    its a good idea, the vendor forum.

    also, +1 on 5.10 shoes. thats another thing I'd be willing to go for.

    for whoever makes a poll, make it so you can select more than one option.

    I would be interested in tires. Tired of mtb tires costing the same as my MX tires!

    Specifically: Maxxis Minions

    Highly doubtful we can get even 2 people to even get the same brand bike at the same time. The whole point of group buys is the sheer number of people buying from one manufacturer allows for a volume discount for the LBS, which they pass on to us.

    My suggestions:

    Chris King Headsets
    Jerseys and shorts (Let's come up with a few popular items)
    Shoes?
    Hope Pro 2 Hubs (Front and Rear Sets?)

    I´d be down with any consumerables ie. chains, cassettes, brake pads, clothing and shoes, tires and that sort of thing. The type of stuff that can be bought ahead of time because you know you are going to use it.
    The forum idea is good too, so +1 on that.
