I ran across this vendor selling what seems to be
excellent bent clothing. Hi-viz, wicking, no rear pocket,
US made, priced right. What am I missing? Seems to be
less than half the price of anything else out there...
Whaddya think?

Dunno. Could it be spam?

I believe that it is very unlikely that the clothing is made
from a processed meat by-product. 😉

Good Day All,

I came across these shirts when I noticed our garbage men
wearing a new type of high-visibility shirts. I did a Google
search on safety shirts and found them.

I just got two lime and two orange shirts as of 5/03/2004.

They are very visible.

They cost $13.24 each including shipping -- though without
the reflecting tape or pockets.

I never can find a decent bike shirt in XXL (US). These
shirts come in my size and even a size larger.

They are made of a new type of polyester and claim to wick
moisture. I have had good luck with regular polyester in the
winter getting rid of moisture. I will see how my new shirts
wick this summer.

I'll have to test their durability (washing and sun fade)
before I give my seal of approval.

Though, at $13.24 each, it is hard to go wrong.

This makes the second posting I've seen about products from
this company in the last couple of days. Both times were
from names that I'm not familiar with. One thing I do find
funny about this one, though: the idea of a "seal of
approval" from someone who doesn't even give their real name
- now that's an endorsement we can all trust!

Larry,

I don't know what the bent is but, Dennis at Alert Shirt
told me it's his friend; that he himself rides a Trek. Man,
Father Time/Roast: you're a bit sensitive. Who are you?

Continuing in the vein that "everything must be green" to
match my dark green GS GTO, I was very happy to be able to
get lime green! I got the full zoot "Ansi" taped shirts. My
report is forthcoming after I wear 'em a bit.

It's a classic Spam methodology. I'd rather see them say,
"I'm not a regular newsgroup participant, nor do I play one
on TV, but...."

I am interested in the clothes - I may order a shirt or
two. The brighter, the better! Are you riding TOSRV this
coming weekend?

Your logic fails me.

I am not a professional writer.

I "was" a happy V-Rex rider who has who read your articles
and posts, complimented you on your Horrible Hundred pics
and shared mine, and consulted with you about a trike.

The line you attacked is the line where I DID NOT endorse
the product!

I pointed out in my post that I did not have personal
experience with two important qualities of the shirt.

What is wrong with that?

I tried to share what I thought was good information with
the group.

I did not give my name because I chose not to.

A crime? Is this untypical? Does this make me suspect,
deceitful or a liar?

IMHO the shirts are a bargain, compared to cycling jerseys,
with the two possible reservations that I stated.

You should read my words as closely as I have read yours.

. . . or you could simply ask instead of assuming ?

Since you know already know . . .

should the villagers gather rocks, rope and torches for my
execution?

None of the above. I was only offering my opinion.

It appears to say "Designed by LeQuan". "LeQuan" is
presumably Ms. LeQuan Brummer of Lightning Cycle Dynamic who
if I recall correctly was responsible for the design of the
Thunderbolt. The top picture on this webpage [1] appears to
confirm my hypothesis.

You missed my point - maybe I should have put in a smiley face or
something - it's just that a seal of approval really is funny - or at
least I thought it was - coming from someone who we don't know, because
they're giving a name that is obviously not their own.
And of course, you do not have to give your name - there's no crime
in that, no deceit, nothing. I did read your words closely - that's why
I made the comment, regarding a possible endorsement or seal of
approval. But am I the only one who finds the possiblity of an
endorsement by someone with a fake name as something comical?
If so, well, I've been accused of having an odd sense of humor before.

Larry,

Although I'd like to ride TOSRV it comes during THE most
important holiday according to my wife, the mother of my
children! Funny, she never objected to me riding GOBA during
Father's Day...

I'm planning a clockwise navigation around Lake Erie this
August. The biggest hurdle, crossing the Detroit River,
seemed insurmountable because there is no pedestrian
crossing via bridge or tunnel. Amazingly, the Canadian side
has arranged for a maintainence truck to ferry me across the
Ambassador Bridge! BTW, apparently there's no problem
crossing the Peace Bridge in Buffalo.

Look for pictures on crazyguyonabike.com this summer.

You should make your trip a little longer, and head over
to the Finger Lakes area and take in the BROL rally in
August. It's only a few extra miles or so...
