Good eve, am good folk of CR , : my statement about cycling wool clothing may have been taken out of context. by no means did I intend to discredit or suggest those who create works of art/ in steel or carbon with two wheels make inferior product.. Let me be perfectly clear: I am not an advocate of outsourcing clothing, kits, woolen cycling wear to a country who has no vested interest in the art and passion of cycling.. by that I am referring to China. not the USA or Europe..kits are being made there for pennies and resold 10x the price right here in the good ol USA. this phenomenon ( if one will call it that) has gone into manufacturing with cycling.. steel , carbon just about anything and everything..its essentially what Home Depot did to the mom & pop hardware store.. although I must say I always go to mom & pops.. True Value.. like wool sweaters or shorts for cycling.. it keeps our local economy robust , supports the community and builds typically a higher quality product than whats coming out of the Sleeping dragon..who is no longer sleeping.. so those of you who questioned the " soul " of new.. keep on making it.. coz Ill keep on buying it so long as your " soul" blood , sweat and tears are keeping me rolling along.. as far as " soul " in music..well lets just say I grew up on Jazz.. Video killed the radio star!
See you on the road..
