Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't see how anyone could have a beef with that (though I'm sure somebody will).

They sell on the Lance Armstrong Foundation for $90.00 which, the local LBS store that has a real cool jersey with their crap plastered all over it is $85.00 so I think it's 'reasonable'. Reasonable for overpriced bike gear that is.

You know what...everytime I think about how unreasonable bike gear is all I have to do is remember that my wife can blow $150 on a *#$&*! haircut.

no they arent. If it was autographed, youd get it for the one time price of 5,000$

I heard that the LAF only gets $1 out of that $90. Anyone know if that is true?

Booyah! They are back in stock at the LAF Store! Well, sans autograph. I've been checking for months to get one each for me and my wife so we can wear them when we do our first century together (her first century ever -- I've done a few) on September 11th, of all days.
