Okay though if you mention this usenet group I'll
add cap and water bottle to the order. Offer expires Sunday midnight
PDT.

How can anyone be sure that you're not lying about this, too?

I am with you. My own little form of protest is to never purchase anything
from spammers.

Thanks for the link. I like seeing nice jersey designs.

So what if you sucked me in. I'm not buying one anyway. Neither would
have most of the complainers bought one so there's no harm done.

The regular posters are regular guys and behave in regular ways - for
the most part! 😉 They don't resort to schizophrenic third person
chicanery. It might seem like a fine difference to some, but it's
not.

The odd thing is the guy actually does have some nice stuff. For the
life of me I can't figure out why he'd feel it was necessary to blow
smoke up people's asses to sell it.

I agree with you there. It's not like his site's trying to load me up
with malware.

True, but they usually let you know up front that they are touting their
own web site, rather than coming on as "hey, look at the cool site I
found." There was a guy who tried that with his wetsuits a while back,
and received pretty much the same treatment as Rick.

Like others have said: nice designs, but a bit pricey. Not totally out
of reason, but more than I am generally willing to pay.

I just found a pretty funny jersey for sale atwww.elevengear.us/poseur.html

Totally cracked me up.

Hey, that's Fabrizio Mazzoleni's jersey!

No. Fabrizo needs jerseys with full length zippers.
That one wouldn't fit over his head.

I went and looked for posts from the Fab one. I think it's been more
than a year. Do you think he's <*gulp*> hung up his cleats? Any word
on whether he's touring the coffee shop circuit?

Ryan Cousineau would be the one to ask. He's the fan club's
President-for-Life. Mike Latondresse too may have witnessed Fab in
the flesh, so to speak. I've never met the man.

Send him the link. See if bites.

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.

Wearing wool makes me feel sheepish.

BINGO.

(Although his stuff is way overpriced IMO.)

Oh I don't know, I hardly think that's the worsted thing you could wear.
Why, I think that it goes fine with a Rambouillet bike (if those prices
don't leave you feeling fleeced). Some people seem to flock to them,
but I've often felt sheared simply by looking at the frame prices
myself.

Of course, some people would just call that wooly thinking.

That would be a tragedy. How can I get back into shape without his
shining example? How could he abandon his loyal tifosi like that?

Perhaps "commercial trolling" should be considered a new category of
so-called spam. The product linked in the post is topical for the
limited number of groups in which it was cross-posted.

It wasn't EMP by any method of measurement.

Guerrilla marketing has its own risks, I guess.

I still like the jersey designs. The custom made jacket with your
event numbers is fantastic.

Acting like "just some guy" who "just happened to stumble" on the website
when in fact he owns it is dishonest. Period.
