I agree with tuckerville, get real sizes. There is nothing more discouraging than going into a bike shop and the only size of clothing they have is size small. Ok, my arm might fit into the body of the shirt. I would love to support the local shops, but size small...come on. They reply, oh, we had other sizes in that color/style. Well, get more than! And different ranges of quality of clothing (thinking more shorts/bottoms here) so someone can see the differences in chamois and have someone that can explain that not all chamois are made equally. I like colors and prints and agree that everyone doesn't like that style or color so get different assortments or at least supply a catolog or pictures of what can be ordered. I agree, the corner thing is horrible, reminds me of grade school and the dunce cap. One bike shop that I go to has the womens seperate from the mens section, its decorated where the rest of the shop is plain, and the dressing room is right there too, and its kinda like its own floor/section vs. "just a corner". AND there is nothing worse than going into a bike shop to get something for MY bike or have something tweaked on MY bike and if my DH happens to tag along, who do they talk to and explain yada yada to? It aint ME! Hello..I"m the one who's bike you're working on-talk to ME. OK, I'm off my soapbox now. Good luck with the bike shop. Keep us updated on how you do, etc.
