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.

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.
I have one pair of the Performance socks as well. I never wore it because it was a bit too thick to wear with my old shoes and opted for my thinner Pearl Iziumi Attack socks most of the time. 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.

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.

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.

I needed to order a rebuild kit for the mountain bike. Picked up a few other things to get free shipping.

No idea how it's a hot deal when it's counterfeit.
What happened?

Thanks for pointing that out.
