Thank you for the quick and comprehensive reply, Susan!

As for Etxe Ondo... WOW. I think I own almost every non-pink item in their catalog and will be very disappointed to see them go. I am a big fan of the European manufacturers (Assos, EO, Campagnolo) for their high quality, non-childlike designs and important inclusions like bib shorts, full-zip jerseys for women and smaller/fitted sizing. For those things, I am willing to pay the extra coin.

Why are these characteristics missing from the major manufacturers' catalogs?
