In my experience, anything available in the catalog, can be found online. I'm sure there are exceptions, but it is not the rule. This is not a big deal, and I understood that you meant "in addition" to rather than just quantity. The bottom line, is that the catalog offers no more variety of selection, than online. And within a day, the online availability is up to date. I believe this applies to Nashbar, as well as Performance. I have no experience with SuperGo, although I think they are owned by the same corp that owns the other two. When I have looked at the SuperGo catalogs, I found them to have less of a selection, than the other two. Life is Good! Jeff |

... It's cold. I need a vest. An insulating vest that will fit nicely under my windbreaker. I'm thinking thermax maybe? Polartec? Something like that. You get the idea. Something light enough to wear and still be able to move, but provides some core warmth. So does anybody have a recommendation for a decent online source for lightweight-but-nice-and-warm vests? What's you're favorite online place for outerwear that's good for cycling? I tend to buy fairly expensive but well made items. I have a Patagonia vest with a windblocker fleece front and a large rar zip pocket that is now 10 years old and in perfect condition. I'd recommend it to anyone. Comew out to less than $10 a year. I also use it for rock climbing and that will beat the hell out of most things but this vest shows no wear at all. |

In my experience, anything available in the catalog, can be found online. That would be standard industry practice. Catalogs are clumsy old technology that has to be prepared long in advance and can't be changed once it is mailed. Web sites are a lot more flexible. If you have only one albatross, you probably won't put it in the catalog, but can put it in the "closeout" bin of the web site in hopes some old sailor will buy it. |
