The size 12 in both fit my hips and legs just right.....but the waist was hanging open in a gap in the back that jutted between 3-4" out from my back. A belt would not have solved it, it would have bunched up way too much.

Boy. Don't I know THAT one....

I guess they figure if you wear size 12 pants that means you're probably just big all over. My hourglass figure done me in again, I should know by now not to try to buy pants online.

HEY!!!! I resemble that comment!!! I am NOT "big all over"!! (I'm very small in the chest!)

OK, I just gotta tell this thing from our ride this morning, speaking of 'big' hips....

DH and I are riding along on our bikes on a country road, and we see an elderly couple of pedestrians up ahead walking along the road. I say "Let's not give these people heart attacks"- meaning I am going to call out "Good Morning!" to them well ahead of when we pass them so as not to startle them.

Then Dh says "With a rear end like that you don't NEED a bell."

I say "Hey, what is THAT supposed to mean!?"
He explained that my rear hub makes a pretty loud clicking noise when I'm coasting, and gives people in front of me advance warning that I'm coming up behind them without needing a bell, and that's what he was referring to.



So today's joke around the house is me saying "With a rear end like mine I don't NEED a bell!"

Man, I'll be getting good mileage out of that one for some time to come.

Howdy.....Great story, Lisa, LOL!

In an effort to reclaim drawer space, I'm trying to purge my ridiculously large collection of summer cycling jerseys. Among the ones that I'm willing to send off to new homes are two Ibex sleeveless Peregrine jerseys, never worn. Size Medium. One is a light turquoise (see photo below). The other is identical except the main color is a burnt orange. Very lightweight wool, but NOT see-through.

I paid about $35 each for them on Sierra Trading Post last fall or winter. (The retail price is around $60)

I'm game for parting with one or both for $22 each, plus shipping. $40, plus shipping, if you buy both.

I thought I'd list 'em here first on the woolweenies thread, before listing them on the general F/S thread.

PayPal only, thanks!! Any questions, PM me......

Hi, based on this thread (because I am still a newbie) I picked up on CL (btw, I need a 12 step program for CL addiction - it is your fault though! - I learned about it here on the forum) Ibex Lightweight Spin Jersey for even $50.

My question to you all wool-pros is: What temps is this jersey most comfortable for? I know that it can go to quite extreme, but what is the ideal weather in which you would pick this jersey for a ride?

Well, for me, the hotter it gets, the more I can't think of any jersey that would be more comfortable than my Ibex Spin jersey.

Ibex 405 jacket on SAC. I just missed it, maybe it will come up later. Does anyone have one of these?

[KnottedYet]

Dang, the price of Bicycle Fixation's wool knickers just keeps going up!

Oh, how I wish I'd had the good sense to buy them when they were $90-ish!

90 ish? Dang, my Portland Cycling Knickers keep looking like a better and better deal. I'm having some problems with the zipper on one of the pockets. But I still love them and may get another pair.

Ooops, they are not wool, wrong thread.

i really like that ibex spin jersey.....but it seems to only come in S M L--
no XL.

Like it never even came in an XL.

how does it run...sizewise.??

[madscot13]

Anyone have any experience with the Ibex biking shorts? I am in need of a pair of shorts and they look interesting.

[DebW]

I saw a pair of the Ibex bike short in person. The legs were shorter than most bike shorts. The spin jerseys are sized to fit snuggly. True to size if you like form fitting. Size up if you don't.

[madscot13]

I would actually like a shorter seam. Did you hear anything on the chamois? They look ok, or at least more than a piece of felt.

Lord help me - I just bought the boucle jacket, 405 full zip and Kate sweater. All 50% off from backcountry outlet plus free shipping Where do I commit myself??

[mariposa]

Has anyone tried these jerseys?

They are not widely available, for some reason. A brand new product?

TE seems to offer the Euphoria jersey: sleeveless, one pocket.



The Ewetopia one has sleeves and two pockets...I'd probably prefer it...any chance TE will offer it?

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I bought an Ibex 405 full zip in red today to try out:
405 Full Zip

[Jolt]

Ibex has up to 50% off everything in their outlet...I'm ordering a couple of things from there for the first time since everyone seems to be raving about how great it is and there are some great deals.
