I have never heard of Title 9 Sports. Is this a west coast store? Catalog only?
Re bras - I have found that lately I have been happier with a simple camisole-type bra (seamless type from maidenform) b/c the sports bras are just....so....frigin....HOT!

Anyway - I guess my previous experience as a clothing buyer - knowing that last season's gear should be marked down - made me a little sensitive to the 4 1/2 year old pair of bike shorts being $80. But I see the point about - if they work, then I got my $$$ worth. I just know I should check the labels going forward if it's a concern of mine.
I would think they would have say, a PI rep that would keep tabs on thinks like this - but maybe not if they're real small.
