Cheapish Descente gear

[orphic]

These guys are selling off some old Descente stock. Most of it looks to be 2007 stuff to me, anyway.

Ranges from really cheap to not too much difference from retail. If anyone wants anything let me know in the next day or so and I can add it into my order. Free postage if the order is over $100.

Thanks for the link. PMed.

They said they were selling Element shoe covers for $7.95, reduced from $55. I thought I'd found a real bargain until I read "Out of Stock..."

Bugger.

[orphic]

Yeah I got some of the shoe covers already

Order is over $100 now, but will wait til late morning/early afternoon to put it through in case anyone is after something small so they can get the free postage.

Not that I should be ordering anything at all... Since I managed to lose my wallet (along with a not so insignificant sum of money) yesterday! Grr. Not my week.

Were they the last pair?
If they don't fit you, I'll give you $5 for them.

I can't remember what the stock levels said when I bought them, but they must of been. I already received them earlier in the week and they fit. Sorry

Anyone have some of the aero-x shorts or bibs? Do you find the lycra a bit thin? I got some of the womens bibs, and I am thinking that in some lighting they might be a tad see through

We'll tell you after the next bunch ride.

Seriously though, the only "see through" lycra I've seen are those old ones. Ones that have gone through too many washes and is beyond its use by date. GeoffM and I both bought that basic Descente bib with thinnish material from PBK last year (?or before) and they looked fine from behind. Descente actually advertise their "thin" material for its breathability... Yep, very cool in winter. Ouch!

[orphic]

Hmm, interesting. When I had them on at home they looked ok. When I got to track I got a little worried. So anyone who was behind me on the motor pace on Wednesday night, don't hesitate to say something

[mikesbytes]

So your asking us to comment on your behind ?

[shrubb face]

careful mike, it could be a trap.

My descent knicks arrived today, but who really wants to check out my behind.

[orphic]

Realising what I have started here, I'm putting an end to any discussion by saying that I think I was being overly paranoid.

I am, however, finding myself looking a little too close at behinds that are wearing Descente gear (for reassurance ofcourse) - which is something I better put a stop to or I might get in trouble.

Your be fine Victoria, unless there's a guy in the club with a super bright flashing front light

They are now selling off what is left of the stock at 25% less. So there are mens and womens bibs for $44, which is quite a steal given the retail on these.
