Sure... Ya know the answer... Stuff marketed by REI of course. Whats of interesting note is that this is not a bad thing, per say. Gone are the old Bike Shops. Its just impossible for them to make a decent profit. I feel for them. And Kits, for some, is whats in line with a style rather then what us geezers wear for utility and comfort.
We do have to get out there and ride, and if we have to use REI to do it then just fine... Ride.
I really get your point. Whats sad is when we have those fancy riders looking down on someone who is not following the stylish uniformity, well, thats all wrong...
