I made the mistake of purchasing an Assos Jersey and am now spoiled, I also have been in the habit of buying Castelli. Unfortunately these expensive brands only seem to be available from higher end online retailers (Colorado Cyclist, Excel Sports, etc.) that rarely have coupons. Does anyone know of an online store that carries these brands? Particularly one that might have coupons occasionally?

I've been purchasing these brands mostly on end of season sales and such, but i need another pair of shorts or two, and I don't think they will be on sale anytime soon.

to the expensive World of ASSOS......the best pricing I've found has been @:
http://www.branfordbike.com/contents.html (Generally slight discount)
http://www.lickbike.com/assos.shtml (will price match)
http://www.worldcycling.com/merchant.mvc (have good end-of-season sales)
http://www.totalcycling.com/ (depends on strength of the US $$)

Other items I can HIGHLY recommend:
Gator Jacket
Prosline ThermoAirblock tights
Clima Micro jacket (I've gotten more use of this than anything; wind, drizzles, tucks in back pocket; super light)
Airblock gloves
Prosline Summer gloves....(little difficult to put on and remove...but fantastic)
Airblock booties (if you don't already have the SIDI winter shoes)
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Thanks for the links.

I've already got a Clima Micro on order, I've heard that it works very well.

Do you have any particular recommendation on bib shorts? I'm thinking about going all the way and getting the F1-13 S-2, but it is pretty pricey, and since it is new, I haven't seen any price breaks on it.

I can't afford to get 2 or 3 more bibs, after I try the first pair........ I have to set a financial limit on something :cool:

Chicago Land also carries ASSOS and presently there is a sale.....
