Some of the specialty shop items are well made to be sure. But non-cycle
specific clothes will work very well.
Personal I suppose, but I like to verify the merino is Australian or U.S.
sourced. Saving a few bucks is not worth contributing to environmental
mayhem in central Asia.

I'm pretty much covered in Merino wool - I've bought one blue MUSA short
sleeve from Rivendell (and a lot of MUSA pants - I dig them), A blue
long-sleeve Icebreaker200 I bought from sierratradingpost matched exactly
the blue MUSA short sleeve except for the label and the color of the
thread.

Wool is wool and so long as it's a cut and softness you are comfortable
with it will work just fine on the bike whether or not it is bike specific.
I don't own a bike specific piece of clothing anymore, but I wear wool year
round (skivvies and t-shirt in summer, other layers as needed).
This an extra from my Albatross fitting process. $45 shipped. I prefer
paypal gift option, or you can add in paypal fees if you think gift is
cheating the man.

nice merino tops from Goodwill and I was perfectly warm.
What you lose is the bike-specific things like pockets, long tails, zip up

I agree with the others that it looks pretty nice as is... a little
beausage doesn't hurt. What about Cyclart ? Greg Reichle is the fellow's
name, I think. Looks like they have different pricing levels of
restoration depending on what you plan to do with the bike. See
really? The wool made by elves under waterfalls of Rivendell is surely
better for cycling!!
One of my favorite merino tops was $7 on the Target clearance table. No
pockets in back, but a handlebar bag holds my sundries just fine.
Discount store wool is likely to be Chinese in origin

I agree with what Ron Mc says. Sierra is a great place to get cheap
Icebreaker wool garments. Though I'll note that the 45% off coupon is only
on select items. If you sign up for DealFlyer or use something like
RetailMeNot, you can find other coupons for them pretty easy. It's pretty
standard

Goodwill has wool tops that are non cycling specific. Sometimes they have

agree with Shawn - you have to check on the coupons - sometimes the 45%

occasionally and put them on my wish list. But do check to see if the

Dear Velo Orange Customer,
Our records indicate that you purchased VO's long-setback seatpost in the
period between August 2008 and June 2011.

Great minds think alike. I have already perused some of the bike porn at
flickr, but Pudge found a few that I hadn't. The only thing for sure is
that I must, must, *must* have one of those Jo Routens style pure front
racks. A nice canvas and leather bag will sit on it, eventually, maker TBD.
Thanks, Chris! Monsieur Blériot will have an updated clamp soon.
My experience with Velo Orange products has been very good over the years. They
stand behind their products. When a V-O water bottle cage broke, they replaced
it. When a Nitto cage broke, I was out of luck.

Yep, the MKII was what I could afford back then. I found the original
receipt last year, got mine for $170. I know about Cyclart, but wanted to
stay local.

The Icebreaker clothing is made in China, so no surprise it's offered at
big discounts. I prefer to buy US or NZ or Australia made items myself in
keeping with the Rivendell vision.
I like the Ibex jersey's and they have sales at the end of the season that
make the prices a little more
Mike, true that Icebreaker is manufactured in China, but they do make sure
that workers are treated fairly, well, they claim that they do:

And don't forget old Pendleton shirts. Beautiful myriad plaids, usa-made
(at least the old ones), different weights and cuts, can be really cheap at
thrift stores...and they can be modified by cutting sleeves to
short-sleeved or sleeveless especilly of they're in rough shape and you
don't

Nitto cages are...strong enough for most uses. I've seen two break over the
years, which is remarkable considering the thin metal and all. We don't
stock the Nitto cages anymore (except now and then), because they're so
