Exchange rate is pretty good right now. Please talk me out of spending foolish $ on these items.

You expect this crew to talk you out of spending money?

Be careful with the Jersey sizing. I purchased an Eroica Hispania jersey years ago and Euro vs. US sizing is different. I wear an XL in US jerseys and for the Santini it had to be an XXL in club cut. In race cut I have to get a XXXL.

Uhm…..you don’t need any of this bike junk, it is overpriced and will probably fall apart. Bicycle stuff is just a waste of hard earned $. You probably already have too much of this kind of fodder. There is a reason most folks don’t go for the vintage junk. Cleaning those spokes will be a real P.I.A. Those vintage jersey’s are itchy and totally uncomfortable………..How am I doing?

I think you're in the wrong forum. You need to go find a "SWMBOs whose significant others are obsessed with ridiculous hobbies" forum.

I may be posting photos of the XXV anniversary tubulars here soon. Need suggestions for the personalized 4 characters on the side wall.

Given that there are tubulars out there far better suited for the abuse of L'Eroica for half the cost, I dare say at least one of these 104 limited edition sets should be purchased with "LOL$" stamped on the side, never used, and hung up in a museum to commemorate the brilliance that is the marketing and brand licensing behind the L'Eroica events.

240 euros for tubulars that are not even made of silk? Madness! What kind of crazy person would buy these?

So many of them have those tiny zippers though - like the come down just below your Adam's apple... I can barely fit my big head through those things.
I welcome the long-zipper revolution - either all the way, or at least belly-button length.

Those are nice, and would make a unique statement.

they sell full zippered 'jackets', and every order is 'custom', so a long zipper should certainly be possible.
but I have only exchanged 2 emails (over a year ago), where they said "Yes, we could do that" to a request, never ordered.
I was never sure if the wool was lightweight like www.woolistic.com jerseys or heavier like www.oregoncyclewear.com
