Gorgeous jersey and at 27.99, it's such a great deal. I'd go for it. In fact I think I want one now even though it definitely wouldn't match my bike.

Peer Pressure Needed!
To disable ads, please log-in.
Hmmm... so - I have a Cannondale with the pretty dragonfly paintjob, and here is a picture of the jersey that matches my bike...
The jersey has a retail price of $69.99, was on sale for $45.00, and now has dropped to $27.99.
Do I need it? Well, no.
Do I need the money? Well, yes.
Do I WANT it? Well, yes.
HELP!If you're happy and you know it - wag your tail!

I got that jersey from SierraTradingPost for $45, and I see it's now $28! Grrrr..... Was so bummed. But, I did wear it several times last fall.
I love that jersey!
I'd say "Get it"....but note that the Cannondales run big - even tho' it says "trim fit." I normally wear a size "L" (a size 12), but with the C'dale, I can easily wear a size M.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

So did you need peer pressure to talk you in to buying it or NOT buying it? We can go either way for you!

I figured this was like knowing which parent to ask about going out after curfew... Mom would always say no, Pop would always say yes... you ask the parent that will give the answer you want... I guess I figured you guys would pressure me INTO it! I give myself more than enough pressure NOT to spend the money. Originally Posted by Adventure Girl

I think it's working, ladies!
Regina - thanks for the advice about sizing. I probably would have bought one too big (and then had to deal with returning, additional shipping, etc. - which would counteract my savings in price)!
It is almost my birthday, after all... only five months and twenty-seven days until I turn 32! Every girl deserves a birthday present, right? Besides, I only have 3 jerseys right now!

If this was a $120 dollar jersey and it DIDN'T match your bike I would not have been so enthusiastic.

If this is a cannondale jersey and you are getting the matching shorts, I found the shorts run small. Bummer.

HLady! Go For It! 3 jerseys is not enough. And that price is fabulous, even if the jersey was not pretty and did not match your bike.
Buy it! And then tell us what you think of it!

Have you purchased it yet? If not, what are you waiting for?

It Worked!!!
Thanks everybody! It worked! I'm convinced!
I haven't bought it yet, though... I'm checking to see if we "need" anything else first...
Isn't it more economical to spread the shipping cost out over several items, instead of just one???

With STP, I've seen links - and often get emails - of free shipping with $75 purchase. Of course, then you have to spend at least $75, versus the $35 or so this one thing would run you after tax and S&H. Originally Posted by Haudlady

Oh....ponder, ponder, ponder (I do that a lot with STP!).
