I picked up bib shorts and gloves a while back from them as back ups, maybe not great but for the price, fine while my "first string" is in the wash.

They sponsor Trek on the UCI tour. As good a reason to shop there as any.......

By the way, the clamp to control & hold the angle of the horizontal arm is inadequate when clamping on the seat tube (in my experience), with so much more weight on the front of the bike than the rear. So, I cross-drilled that clamp and added a 1/4" clevis pin (with a ring, so I can get it back out again). I tried a couple of bikes and I did not measure but I presume I have the clamp in the 72-to-75 degree range. So far, so good.
