No joy with the site for me either...
i had similar issues yesterday but finally got it to load....hopefully it logged my order.  

regarding tanlines...the next time kissena decides to fred-bomb a rapha ride we should all go shirtless with heart rate monitor straps.  that white stripe across the midsection - so sexy.  
dstearns - you wear a strap for your monitor still ? Isn't that a little version 1.0, pre Bionic Stearns? I thought you had your heart rate monitor built in now .
JoshuaC - haha - true indeed.  I still wear the heart rate monitor.  my built-in is a supercharged gruber assist.  it'll shock me if i don't pull hard enough in a leadout.
@dsterns, just don't give me the controller for the SternsSupercharger.

FYI - products in the store become visible when you use the search box.  It won't give you the full menu, but you can use your imagination to search, right?  Maybe Jules has hidden some Easter eggs for us.

The search bar thing worked for me

@Jules

Any chance of adding the warmest Neoprene bib-tights ?

@ Ian: Neoprene bibs added.

Guys, I don't have the bandwidth to take individual orders via email; we'll keep working to repair the store but until it is fixed this is what we have to work with.

If anyone has experience trouble shooting the google store widget feel free to contact me :)

It worked for me by searching for each item. When error message comes up, hit cancel and the search results stay up.


My inbox is starting to fill up with Google Checkout purchase receipts so it does seem to be working for a number of people.
Is anyone having more trouble today? I can't even get on to the page to do a search now where I could yesterday. It says it can't reach the server.
@ Jeff I just tried and it is working fine.  Joe did a nice little bit of work today to repair the store so it works properly.

Give it a try again, if not we may be SOL till monday.

Got it now. Thx.
Is there an Airlite version of the long sleeve jersey, or just regular or microfleece?
@ Jeff: none that I can find, but I'll ask

Short sleeved only.
Hey Ros, just wanted to pass along another "cool jersey" comment. This one came from an old teammate of mine from Illinois. I sent him a picture of me and the baby and totally unprompted, he complimented the jersey too!
Store will close on Sunday Aug 19th
Talking skin suits..........does getting the one with a pocket on the back negate the whole point of a skin suit?

No, I got one, pockets are tight. Just dont bring along your groceries - ventilation is not the same as a jersey though so for longer road races I wouldn't want to use it

I want one of these.

I got the summer skinsuit (aka crit/mtb), which is all mesh upper. Breathes nicely, though doesn'y wick as well. The pockets are low and tight, down where the printed ass panel would be on normal bibs, so they're out of the wind.
Long vs short sleeve skinsuit? Thoughts?  I'm thinking long for cx and TT's, which will be under an hour and b/c I have such hairy forearms, but it's not that cold during most cx races around here.  Just not sure if it will be too hot.  Plus, I think the long sleeves look cooler, which is the most important thing.
LS is better for a skinsuit.

You can wear it in summer races that are under 1hour and you can wear it for CX from 75-35 degrees (For all you brits/aussies/kiwis and other colonials that is 23 degrees to 2 degrees). a very nice comfortable temperature range.

I second the summer skinsuit recommendation.  Been racing in one just about all summer.  Wash between races, of course.  The material is so thin, I'd imagine it would have trouble wicking.  On the good side, the sweat seems to evaporate quickly.  The longer you feel just warm enough, that is, sweating, but lightly, the better your body will run.

The pockets don't defeat the point of a skinsuit.  Loose material defeats the point.  Think of Team Sky.  Those guys wear skinsuits whenever they can get away with the minimal pockets.  

I'm doing short sleeve skinsuit for cx.  one with pockets so it can double for road racing in cooler weather.  So many 55+ degree days for cross races in the past few years.  Just have a skintight long sleeve baselayer for the cooler days.
Does anyone have a link to the ones we have in the store I cant seem to get there.
Ashley, 
The mesh-top skinsuit is the criterium/mtb skin suit.  The one with pockets and regular spandex is the long distance skin suit.  Does that help?
I have an XL skinsuit (two small pockets in the back) that I would like to trade for someone's XL bib shorts and jersey. 


If any of our larger comrades are interested in this deal, please let me know. 

Thanks for the info, does the Criterium/MTB Skin Suit have any pockets or is that only the distance version?
