I own one of each already and they are amazing garments. Login with an account and the price will drop about 15% when you go to checkout.

Wiggle carries some of their stuff, often at very good prices.

My new shoes are a touch bigger and I tried the Performance socks again just for the heck of it... what an amazing difference. So comfy.

I also have a thick pair which I got on clearance at the LBS. Not sure what model but they are very thick, definitely a winter sock, probably closer to the Pursuit. I use these in the winter with my more sneaker-like touring shoes on my fixed-gear bike. Very warm but then again, I live in Georgia so it doesn't get down into the single digits.

So yeah, I rediscovered these socks and today bought the Performance One and Performance two, one pair each. The blue socks are the Aspire Four. I have a few kits that match the color. Giving them a try in the hopes they are not too thin.

Wish I could help more. I'm sure the Pursuit won't let you down.

Morvelo's style can be feast or famine IMO.

Sometimes they put out a sublimely elegant designs and other times I'm like, "What are you thinking?" I guess that's typical of all British design, not just cycling jerseys.

I'd love some feedback on their bibs. I don't own any Morvelo bibs and am interested in the Nth series classic.

I can openly say that the MAAP bib shorts are hands down the best I've ever worn. Supreme quality and the most comfortabe chamois pad I've worn to date. Thats being compared with Rapha, assos, LG, Castelli and Santini that I've previously worn. I'd rate MAAP at a 9.5 out of 10, Rapha 8 out of 10 and the rest to be 7 or below.

I picked up one of these yesterday as well since they were half off. No idea on quality, but the reviews sound great. Mostly, I just wanted a jacket that I could wear commuting/at night since my nice Capo jacket is black and wearing all black at night just sounds like a bad idea. I have a couple of other jackets but they're not form fitting and I'm just not a fan...hopefully the Gabba does the trick.

I had bought some red Uvex cycling sunglasses at performance some weeks ago. I like them so much when the sale rolled back to the $35 price... I went in for the Tuesday lunch extra 10% off. This time I bought them in white.

Snagged a pair of compression tights for $29.99 shipped. I actually never used compression during training, but after trying out a pair during a transcontinental flight, I decided to pull the trigger. Well worth the $30 IMO.

that website looks pretty sketchy. I suspect they are selling counterfeit gear.

I'm not going to speculate on whether or not their gear is genuine, but I do think it's cute that they think it's notable that their sales and service team has a cumulative 25 years in the bike industry under their belts.

The Aspires are pretty thin. Great sock, though. I have ran distance events up to marathon distance in these. They will not bunch up and I've never had a blister. They seem to have these micro nubs on the sole that grip your feet and feel great. I also have a pair of 12" that I use as a recovery sock after a long/tough event.

This deal makes me suspect they are selling counterfeit eyewear.

Just purchased one in Drive Blue. If it's anything like my other Castelli long sleeve jerseys, it will be great.

It's not counterfeit if it's not claiming to be something else. ;)

Huge performance gains from this new headset cap... It does appear there's a resemblance though!

A new KMC chain and an HG50 7 speed cassette for the old Schwinn. 13-30t to replace a worn out 13-26t. Today, I could finally make it up a few short steep sections without struggling for once.
