FS: Women's skinsuit collection

[LouDeeter]

This is an unusual and historic collection of skinsuits and one jersey I'm selling for my daughter. There are 7 skinsuits, 6 from Rebecca Twigg. The jersey was also Rebecca's. The 7th skinsuit was Mari Holden's, but it is the same size as Rebecca's. I bought these from a friend of Rebecca Twigg's in Colo Springs over 20 years ago. I don't have letters of authentication, but they are all size small and all reflect the team and sponsors that Rebecca rode for at the time (except for the skinsuit on far left that has a Performance logo, see below). He told me that one of the two EDS suits was Mari Holden's. All are excellent condition, although some may have been worn. Pictures on request. Here is what I have and my daughter would like to sell as a complete set for $1000 shipped, now $600 shipped without the World Championship which was sold.

Jersey--Atlanta 1996 Olympic Team
Skinsuit--Atlanta 1996 Olympic Team
Skinsuit--Timex U.S. Champion (possibly Mari Holden's, see later post, p.3)
Skinsuit--Shaklee U.S. Champion
Skinsuit--Shaklee World Champion SOLD
Skinsuit--Saturn red/white checks--the team colors
Skinsuit--EDS sponsored by Pearl Izumi, U.S. stars and stripes
Skinsuit--EDS sponsored by Performance, U.S. stars and stripes (I believe this latter set is the one from Mari Holden. She confirmed to me that she rode both Pearl Izumi and Performance, but I have not seen a picture with Rebecca in Performance sponsored skinsuit. Perhaps someone has better information)

One of the EDS skinsuits has a back pocket and the Timex has a back pocket. My conclusion is that the others are likely for track.

Contact me direct at loudeeter@aol.com. I will entertain offers, but would like to sell all as a set. Thanks. Lou

It's been a couple of years since I last offered these jerseys. Daughter needs the money so I'm offering them again. Lou

Very cool! :beer:

I like the "Hooker Bicycles" logo. ;)

[LouDeeter]

My daughter still has these and she still needs the money as she is now a Mom. Will entertain offers.

[Hawker]

Very cool. Maybe put them up on the Team Estrogen forum? I hope someone gets them who appreciates them.

[LouDeeter]

Bumping as my daughter reminded me that with her second child due in a few months, the money would come in handy. If any of these appeal to you, make me an offer.

[Louis]

Ebay would give you better visibility for a much broader group of potential buyers, especially for a somewhat esoteric collection like this.

[LouDeeter]

Still have these in the closet and daughter now has two babies.

That Saturn Team skinsuit is bad ass, I wish I was a girl that could fit it :banana:

[LouDeeter]

What is getting to be an annual bump.

[LouDeeter]

Annual bump.

[LouDeeter]

Time for the Olympics, what better time to buy a real Olympic team jersey from 20 years ago, or some of the other skin suits.

[Mr_Gimby]

Wow, this thread is over 8 years old now.

[LouDeeter]

Yes, amazing. Nice collection. Daughter doesn't need the money as much as she did back when this thread started, but she still wants to sell them. If you see one you like and want to make an offer, I can always ask.

[LouDeeter]

Anyone need a Christmas present?

[LouDeeter]

Perhaps the longest running post on the classifieds. Annual bump. Stored in a smoke free home.

[LouDeeter]

Bump and lowered price for the entire collection to $1000 shipped. I cover the paypal fee.

This must be going back a decade but there was a gentleman on the Dirt Rag forum that was always in search of used womens bibs, shorts, socks etc. At the time it seemed a bit odd but none of my business as I had nothing to offer. Long shot but maybe you could find that guy via Dirt Rag?

[ninjaman]

Wait another couple years and they'll finally fit your grandkids!

i read somewhere Twigg is/was broke and homeless. ; (

i read somewhere Twigg is/was broke and homeless. ; (

I can't remember where either, but it was a fairly lengthy article. If I remember correctly, living in the Seattle area and living out of her car. Also visiting a soup kitchen regularly and seemed content. Very, very sad and apparently her condition has to do with medical and psychiatric issues that she's had since her teen years.

Amazing rider. Everyone knew about her in Seattle in the 80s. Love the picture from Marymoor in the article, that takes me right back to Friday nights and the pictured Track Nats.

Awesome collection

[LouDeeter]

While researching CTS, from the women's jerseys offered today on the forum, I found this picture of Mari Holden in a Timex U.S. championship kit. Other than red on the sleeves, it looks identical to the skin suit shown in my offering for sale. I know one of the other skin suits was from Mari Holden, and it is possible this one is as well. She is shown as on the faculty of CTS in Colorado Springs, and Colorado Springs is where the seller of this collection was based when he sold them to me. So, while all but one of the collection were attributed to Rebecca Twigg, looking at images on-line, this Timex kit makes me question that particular one.

Yep, that's the article. She was incredibly talented and I was a fan. Sigh, I wish her the best.
