ISM Adamo Racing Saddle: $92.99-$94.99

Adamo Racing Saddle

In my humble opinion, the best saddle ever made.  Well worth the money if you have ever had issues with perineal numbness or pain.  But why pay retail if you don’t have to?  An exhaustive search came up with a couple of significant discounts off the MSRP.  Colors are limited but if you don’t mind blue or grey, it’s a great deal.

From the ISM website:

THE ORIGINAL – and still our top of the line performance saddle for triathletes and time trialers.  Designed for aggressive riding in the 0* to 30* hip angle position (aero bars).  This seat offers superb comfort in a normally uncomfortable position.  The Adamo Racing is completely UCI compliant for time trialing.  It even sports a nifty transition rack hook on the back for racking your bike.  Uses light weight foam and gel pads with titanium alloy rails. 245mm long and 130mm wide.

Enduring Edge Sunglasses

Rarely does one find a deal at the Oakley store.  In this case, Oakley is offering one of it’s latest women’s designs for half price.  Supplies, however, are limited.  Oakley originally offered two colors at this price.  Now only the Cinder Red is available for $90.  Here is their description:

Female athletes demand the best performance eyewear on the planet but they want it without a masculine fit, or a look full of testosterone. That’s why Oakley collaborated with top female athletes to create ENDURING® sunglasses, an entirely new dimension of performance, fit and style made exclusively for women.

An interchangeable lens design lets you adapt and optimize performance in any environment. Our permanentHYDROPHOBIC™ lens coating eliminates water sheens and repels dust, skin oils and lotions, maintaining a smudge-resistant barrier. You also get the unbeatable clarity of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®), including XYZ OPTICS® to maximize peripheral vision.

The fit is engineered specifically for women, and you can adjust it with two included sizes of nosepiece. UNOBTAINIUM® components keep the lightweight frame comfortably in place by increasing grip with perspiration. UV filtering is an uncompromising 100%, and the lens curvature helps protect the delicate skin around your eyes from the wrinkling rays of ultraviolet light. Impact resistance meets ANSI Industrial Standards, so go play hard.

This frame is matched with our ENDURING EDGE lens shape, a slightly larger size with enough attitude to take on any mountain terrain. For cooling airflow, select the vented lens edition. ENDURING comes with a protective sports-specific Oakley Soft Vault that has space for storing an extra optional lens. If you need prescription correction, this eyewear is available with ophthalmic implants that maximize vision with HDO®.
