I live downtown near PGE Park, but often ride east to Mt. Hood Comm. College and west to PCC Rock Creek, as far as your seeing and/or buying stuff.

1) Pearl Izumi Long Sleeve Bright Yellow-green Cycling Windbreaker. Size Medium. $20.

This is the basic model with long sleeves, black trim, and some reflective patches. The sleeves are not detachable. It's the bright garish kind you see people wearing all over the place. It has been lightly worn, and is in excellent condition other than a few grease/oil stains on one wrist area. Rumor has it you can get the grease out with Shout or the oxy stuff. I only tried with a brief soak of part of it in Bizz because I don't want to mess up the fabric. I think it retails for about 50. I'm selling it because I prefer a sleeveless jacket.

2) Men's Jelly Belly Short-Sleeve Cycling Jersey. Size Large. $25.

I don't mean to sound like Richard Simmons (not that there's anything wrong with being Richard Simmons), but this is a really cool jersey. It's bright red with Jelly Belly in bright yellow and lots of Jelly Belly's below that looking kind of like M&Ms. The label says Santini, made in Italy. It seems very well made, and I love the way it looks, but I'm selling it because it's a bit tight on me even though I sometimes wear a medium jersey. So think of it as a small 'large.' The feeling of the material is thin and a bit slick, whereas the PI EKG Jerseys (below) have a softer feel.

I got it about a year ago at Performance for about 60, and have worn it moderately, washing it by hand after each ride. It had a bit of dirt and/or grease on it, but one good soak in Bizz has brought it back to looking like almost like new.

3) Pearl Izumi Men's Short-Sleeve EKG Jerseys (1 Blue, 1 Yellow). Size Large. $45 each.

These are incredibly comfortable summer-weight jerseys which feel like wearing nothing - none of that plasticky feel which some of the recent jerseys have. I am only selling them because I realized that a Medium fits me fine. They retail for about 80 and have been on sale for about 68 lately at Bike Gallery and online, for example at Colorado Cyclist. I wore the blue one about 5 times, the yellow one once, and washed them by hand in mild soap each time. So both are like new. The fabric is very light, and seems very breathable and comfortable.

3) Selle San Marco "Era" Saddle, Good to Very Good Condition. $30.

I got this with a used bike I bought. Judging by online ads, it retails around $100 and has titanium rails. It feels bony to me - I like Terry saddles -- but who knows, maybe the Selle's are your cup of tea.

4) Kryptonite U-Shaped Lock, Medium Sized, "Keeper" Model, New in Packaging. $15.

Judging by the web, it retails for around 25. I'm pretty sure this is the most basic Kryponite Model (the next one up is the Evolution, then the New York line). I got it from Kryptonite as a replacement for an old lock because of the famous Bic pen problem with some of the old locks. I prefer the Evolution series so I'm selling this one.
