Whoa! $125-150 for a jersey? You can get great new jerseys for $60-75, retail. Look in your area for a used bike apparel and parts place. They are often run by a charity of some sort. I have bought many (about 10) jerseys at a place in San Rafael CA and never paid more than $20 (and as little as $2) for one. (Vests, jackets, even bike shoes, too. I got a pair of brand new $260 Specialilzed shoes for $100) They are clean and gently used. Performance and Nashbar have sales. I saw some in a catalog for about $40. Nashbar's "returned goods" always has jerseys for cheap, but it's just luck if you find one you like in your size. Try Velowear.com for some interesting stuff. Their "Jersey of the Month" is always interesting. I'll bet other 50+ers will chime in with all sorts of ideas.

I love jerseys. I have 32 now.
