Default Latest cycling catalog / junk mail

I never heard of this one before. www.velogear.com Just on a quick look
through of the catalog it looks to be mostly gift / clothing type items.
No actual hardware. Has anyone ever bought anything from them?

Oh, yeah. They make my favorite bibs. It's an exercise in will power
to discard their infrequent catalogs without buying something, because I
know they make good stuff, but I just don't need any more right now.

I got that the other day, too. I figured they bought a list from
Performance/Nashbar. Those Italian wool jerseys looked tempting, at least until
I saw the list price. Yeesh.

They make my favorite leg and arm warmers. Better to be on their e-mail
list, which notifies you of sales (of which there is always one going
on something or other). It's a fairly well-known and reputable company.

Well it IS cycling related junk mail, so I am not too upset that
performance / nashbar sold them my address. But if I start getting JUNK
like the "AS SEEN ON TV" catalog I am going to send them a nice email
and complain about it. I don't need any cycling stuff right now but I
will probably bookmark them and put them on my links page on my website.

My girlfriend bought my Lance 4 watch from Velo Gear. Good service, not such
a great watch. Poor battery life, delicate case, poor design.

Want a nice long sleeved wool jersey, complete with embroidery?

Yes, it's made in China, but it's nice thick wool, and it's only $59. Can't
beat that.

I was excited to see that they carry the college jerseys in small size
but they don't have my school. When will Nashbar/Adrenaline realize
that there is a bigger market for men's "S" than "XXL" in the cycling
apparel world?

And it's from a brewery! Huzzah!
