    They are some pretty cool jersey designs, though; I particularly like
    the Poseur and the Doppler Shift ones.

    You're excused only if you discount your price by 25%

    Your ideas are great, the graphics are very nice, the products look
    fine. I have no idea what your overhead is, but your pricing is at
    poseur level and poseurs don't have the sense of humor to buy a jersey
    which busts them.

    The rest of us who worship at your church are tapped out after
    unloading on carbon and stupid light factory built wheelsets, and are
    reduced to buying used clothing on ebay.

    Here is the poor man's tacky alternative to the jersey:

    You sell your trust cheap: 1) I wouldn't trust a retailer who had
    misrepresented himself; 2) there are plenty of other retailers out
    there; and 3) there's no jersey that I need that much.

    I KNOW I bought the Repulic of Anaerobia jersey several years ago from
    either Performance or Nashbar for a whole lot less money than that!

    Man $74 relative to some of the other stuff in the catalogs (castelli,
    assos) is a bargain! Okay though if you mention this usenet group I'll
    add cap and water bottle to the order. Offer expires Sunday midnight
    PDT.

    No one on your coffee ride will ever know or care what kind of grease you

    C'mon, give the guy give a break. Shilling and using paid 'helpers' to
    create "buzz" is a common practice today. This guy was clumsy and got
    bagged. BFD.

    I bought a light merino wool ski sweater in a small-town thrift store last
    week. See, I have this dumb idea that it's summer, so all I need is leg
    warmers and a jacket over my shorts and ss jersey to go cycling, not my gd
    woolens. It was so cold and rainy, after a couple of hours I began to go
    hypothermic. The $2 sweater was a god-send. After I got home, I thought it
    would make a really nice bicycling jersey, if only it had a zipper. So I
    bought a zipper, and I plan to sew it in. So, I'll have a nice, soft, wool,
    light-weight fully zippered jersey for $4. It makes the $125 (on sale!) one
    I saw at the LBS seem like a total rip-off.

  20. cycle formulated grease works 1000% more than auto grease due to the
    temperature/speed/load matchups. I've extensively tested.

    the thrifts in hi rent retirement areas or better!! poor area thrifts
    adjacent hi rent areas consistently yield patagonia for $2.

    there's a sewing post in archives under 'datatkoll'
