I hate ebay

[smurfalicious]

I stared at this jersey for days, so convinced the whole world was gonna bid like crazy on it that I didn't dare get it started. So, on the day it ended I was about to place a bid when my friend called. He was on his way to my house to help build new fences for the goat. I dropped everything and took off home from my mom's. And so, that is how the most perfect jersey ever, was lost. It was soooo me! And soooo tacky, and yellow, and I want to cry. Wonder if the seller can get another. I would pay a stupid amount for this. Ugh, first person who finds somewhere I can buy this online, or catalogue, I swear I'll send you cookies. Or a box of Clif bars, or whatever!

I think your friend is more to blame than eBay. Or perhaps your phone.

You could always email the seller and ask her where she got it originally. Offer her cookies. Couldn't hurt.

Jobob, you are so ODD!! I mean that is a really good way!!!

Smurf, this jersey was hanging at my LBS for over a year. It is the tackiest thing I have ever seen! (I mean that in a good way, too). But somebody finally bought it. If I hear of any others, I'll let you know.

Jo, we have salsa and merengue. Or is that the lemon meringue pie I'm dreaming of....

Ooooh my gawd Adventure Girl! I swear, if you happen in there, and they can still get it, oh man! I'm normally a cheapskate when it comes to jerseys. Sorry, but $70 for a shirt it better come from Banana Republic. However, this one is sooo worth it! Tacky is your friend! I looooove that retro western look. I'm so glad it's in style because I've been grabbing it up. I'll wear it even when it's out of style!

peace in...

Smurf: I just found their website - www.panaracer.com (see sides of jersey!). I didn't find any jerseys on the site but there was a distributors button - maybe you can find a dist and thence find the "lovely" jersey! (ok - I'm jealous - I'd wear it too!! ) Anyway - good hunting and let us know if you find it!

Hey Smurf?
That looks like a team jersey- which might make it easier to track down.
I've got a couple of leads that I'm working on-
however - I would think that all the product patches on it are either a)advertising in association with a LBS
or b) sponsorship patches
We know it's a Salsa Jersey- here's a link to the Salsa Cycles website- they do carry team jerseys as well- they may be able to tell you what year this was. And where you might find another...
http://www.salsacycles.com/apparel_team.html
Also- another clue:
the jersey was in Canada- Ontario to be precise.
Now- jerseys like that are usually rare- I know that I have to search and hunt for jerseys-
Pearl Izumi ones are hard to find- I know Sugoi ones are available up here- but try to find Primal Wear!
But I think there is a team in Ontario that has a salsa flair to their team name and jerseys- let me see if it is one of theirs.

I shoulda been a detective.

Seriously though- number one- email the seller and find out where she got it- she may have picked it up at a race across the border....

I don't know where to find the Salsa jersey, but this Pink Camo is pretty cool. I just don't know how to justify the shipping from the UK.

I like the pink camo too. Lately I've developed this desire for anything pink, can't quite figure it out.....a nice Champage Pink........

HI JOBOB!!!

Hope pokey doesn't raise a snit, he's very sensitive.

[snapdragen]

Oh dear, maybe you shouldn't buy her! Pokey is such a sweet guy, I'd hate to have him upset.......let me take Pinky off your hands... (see, I've named her already)

btw - I'm probably driving the SAG wagon for the grad ride - see you there!

Hi smurf,

just saw this on ebay, isn't it the same jersey? I'm ebay challenged, can't seem to even figure out how to sign up so .... go for it.

[gilly]

I can't see the picture :-(

And I really want to see the bike Jobob wants to buy but the url won't work :-(
Not a good start to the the but hey ho, it can only get better

Smurf... what about e-mailing the BUYER ? who knows, it may not fit, it may not be what they expected, worth a try?
Good luck
