Parts on order

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

As noted before, the (new to me) 2003 Main Street Pedicab (MSP) Classic has seen some battles. I decided to throw some more money at it, which I suppose makes it officially a hobby.

Here’s the parts I ordered, and the plan:

From Bike Stop:

Details Name Unit Price Quantity Total
LD8752 Shimano STX Right Rear Shifter (Pod) $11.95 1 $11.95
33036 Wald MTB High-Rise Handlebar #803, Black, 25.4 $12.95 1 $12.95
HT1700 Ergon Performance Grips Small $29.95 1 $29.95
Special:  - Price Match $-6.96   $-6.96
  Sub Total: $47.89
  Shipping: $11.99
  Grand Total: $59.88

The price match was on the Ergon grips.

From Main Street Pedicabs:

Qty Name SKU Each Subtotal
3 26 Maxxis Hookworm Tire MAX_HT $26.99 $80.97
Subtotal $80.97
Shipping: UPS Ground $15.30
Tax Total $0.00
Grand Total $96.27

MSP has very competitive prices and they were quite helpful on the phone when I called. I probably paid a little extra in shipping since I didn’t get everything from Bike Stop, but MSP earned my business. Company founder Steve Meyer is who I spoke with. Here’s a video with him I found on YouTube:

So, my ride just got way more expensive, but it’ll be nice. I think I’ll be glad I went with trigger shifters on both sides (there’s already one on the left) rather than returning to a stock twist shifter setup, and the Ergon grips look like they’ll be nice. The handlebars are almost the same size as the new stock MSP ones, but I wanted black. I still haven’t figured out a saddle yet, but I’ll get there.
