We also bought a Bissell vacuum cleaner.

It sucks.

You know the difference between a snowboard and a vacuum? With a snowboard, the dirtbag goes on top.

I just bought one of those goofy tie-dye EF tech shirts from Rapha. Guess I'm just another gullible instagram hipster millennial that you guys keep complaining about.

(it was on sale)

Non-cycling stuff, I guess USPS but they're the best option anyway.

Honestly, I'm kind of surprised to hear what some of these sponsoring brands even sell. Like when I found out Saeco sold espresso machines. I had no idea what Mapei was until this thread.

I believe my first cycling influenced purchase was a Tag Heuer watch after seeing the 7-Eleven team wearing them and the logo on the jersey.
I also bought the red and green tag heuer because of the 7-11 influence but also because they were kinda cool looking and fairly unique at that time.

Hell yeah, when we remodeled the bathrooms in our Oakland house in 2001, we used Mapei tile. Well, the contractor used it and I was surprised to see Mapei on the boxes of tile... :-)

Since Pavel Tonkov won the Giro ('96), we've only bought Panaria tile.

The very first bottle of wine I bought was Cinzano.
Also 7-11 was a big one....believe it or not my 14 year old daughter says it’s her favourite number...she even wears a vintage 7-11 hat under her helmet when we ride.
