i got a set of the lithions for $30 also (although one place had them in bright blue for $25) because they looked a bit more puncture resistant than the pros.

oh i think that was me! however, then i saw the orange winterbourne (that i remembered having wet dreams about after last year), and the orange frame at cycle therapy (once we found the booth... ok, and wes' bike too ), not to mention the True North display and the Randonneurs' set-up... but yeah, they were the first ones to catch my attention.

other purchases-of-note were that i (FINALLY) got some Pearl Izumi 3D Elite shorts in my size... almost the exact ones i've been trying to find at the past few shows, and some nice North Wave neoprene gloves for $30 that are my new favourite mid-range pair.

ahhh my bi-annual spending spree

now if only i could find an obnoxiously flourescent jersey...
