If an every changing world is what makes you upset, then probably best to get off the forums where most of us come for up-to-date, level-headed information about current topics. If I just went out and bought a jersey that costs more than 15 bucks off nashbar you people would be just as quick to make a comment about being spoiled or quick to waste money, but instead I tried to reach out to others to see if they knew of a superior product that would be cost worthy. Now, I see some stupid, and I mean STUPID, stuff on the forums everyday and somehow I manage to avoid clicking on topics that I find useless. I know it is harder for some than it has been for myself, but come on. If you don't like it then just don't comment on it.

He's not a jerk, when you have been around here awhile you sometimes get tired of seeing the same posts and inject a little sarcasm/humor/snark , you get used to it. Just assume that the other person, no matter what the response sounds like, is typing with a smile on their face. Also I try and remember that we all here love cycling and if we stumbled upon each other at work or a party, would have a great time sharing our enthusiasm of this great activity. It lessons the venom.

On the other hand maybe he is a real jerk. He could be! I mean I really don't know him so he could very well be, a jerk that is. Naw, he cycles, gotta be alright.

I've got a bunch of fugly jerseys from rides that are brand new. Can sell them cheap.

I'm not above buying a Rapha jersey if it means highest quality. I need something that I won't have to buy a new jersey for a while, which means I will need to be happy with my buy. So, what's the best one to buy? Preferably something to keep cool in the Mississippi summer.

Since I've bought two of these and no longer need another:

Buy them out. For $7 it's fine for most uses. Visible, comfortable, no indication of any "seconds" problems, pocket is good, etc.

I think it's better to have more and cheaper than fewer and more expensive. Washing constantly can become a huge pain. I have what I consider high end to what I consider OK. High end being Giordanna & Castelli Rosso Corsa vs. OK being Specialized brand to generic brands. Best bibs are the specialized branded bibs. Favorite shirts are two le cock sportif yellow jersey and KOM jersey. Those are $80 bucks each and the bib was $60 I think. Better quality and more comfortable than my $350 speed suit which has holes and is becoming undone.
