The kid's large looked to be a cm or two shorter in the back than my favorite size small women's jerseys, but it shouldn't be a big deal with bibs. I've learned that the boys' L (and sometimes XL) sizes are often close to an American XS or Euro S in women's stuff.

A few years ago, I "garage doored" my roof-mounted bike. The Ouzo Pro fork took the brunt of the impact, and while it looked OK, and it had been a simply splendid fork, I wasn't prepared to gamble my teeth on a potentially compromised 13 year old fork. I replaced it with a Gunnar steel fork because all the new CF forks then available were 100% CF (i.e., CF dropouts), and for no logical reason, CF dropouts just didn't sit well with me. New Ouzo Pros appeared to have vanished. The Gunnar fork has been very good - however, a little more road buzz compared to the Ouzo, and a significant weight penalty. Still hankering for an Ouzo, I occasionally looked around on eBay. Last week I found a NOS Ouzo Pro being sold by Independent Fabrication for $130. AFAIK, they used to spec their custom frames with Ouzo Pros, but no longer, so they were selling off uninstalled surplus. Fork arrived today - mint, uncut, and light. I'll install it before the Summer riding season gets into high gear, but no real hurry - I'm just delighted that I was able to find one. The Gunnar will become a spare, or will be pressed into service if I ever find a nice steel frame with a 1 1/8"-compatible head tube.

Ebay score.. Powertap SL+ disc wheelset with Stans's rims for the CX bike. Had already been looking for an extra wheelset to change tires but the PT is an added bonus.
a couple KMC chains to have on hand. my friend said she didn't change the chain this year on the supersix so i'll probably throw a new one on that.

Yesterday I nabbed:
a pair of Bontrager Aeolus 3's with dt hubs, a Bontrager Affinity carbon saddle, and a Bontrager xxx carbon stem...
Grand total, $775!!!
The wheel set was slightly used, but I still feel like I did pretty good

Long ride coming up, & thought a top tube bag might be good.
Ordered this- kind of hideous but it's an experiment & it's $5.00.

I don't own them, but I've tried them on - no, the arches in the current Fizik aren't as high as the ones that I'd tried on a few years ago (which made my foot rock like a teeter-totter).
