The Century LX jersey is less form-fitting so if I saw a casual cyclist wearing something like that I wouldn't even give it a second thought.

No question

I agree with everyone else above that the fit aspect is very important here because they couldn't be more different as schools.

That being said, Booth is miles above Ross as far as prestige and employment outcomes go. In addition their economics department is world renowned, so you can't go wrong in business related fields there.

Big fan of Google flights

Big fan of Google flights over kayak, makes it much easier to see which dates are the cheapest if you're flexible. Also sends you directly to the airlines website for booking in most cases.

This is a useful tool for sizing: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/sizing/

However, be careful if your inseam is strange for your height, I'm 5'11" with a 30" inseam and ride a 54cm, so take what you will from that.

The cut would be different and the chamois would be women's specific.

If you're looking at buying

If you're looking at buying new, I would suggest Wheels in Motion out at Washtenaw and Huron Parkway. I've had nothing but good experiences with them and they'll be super helpful as a first time buyer.

That's the problem, the

That's the problem, the helmets would be around the $200 range, and would all have to be the same model, as the minimum is due to the cost required to design/execute a new outer shell of the helmet.

I also own the Primal and

I also own the Primal and Champ Sys Jerseys, so I know from experience this is a much higher quality product. From others reviews, I hear it is far better than the LG jerseys. 

The long sleeve is a jersey, the spring/fall jacket option would be the WX-D Breckenridge jacket.

The tri team supposedly does something similar, although I've also asked to hear when the order opens up and I have not heard anything yet this year.

Here's a race from last year, it kinda shows how varied the helmet situation is. It's become more consolidated into briko every year though.

The problem is every new

The problem is every new person in charge of ordering kits has a different preference. This is definitely the nicest stuff we've had in a while, and I don't graduate for another two years so we'll stick with it for a while!

Our team helmet and glasses

Our team helmet and glasses sponsor is Briko, so most riders use one of their products.

The guys tend to buy whatever fits them best, while most of the females (but a few guys as well) wear this particular model, although it looks like it's been discontinued for this year.

Yes, almost all men (and most women too) exclusively wear bib shorts these days. Pactimo does not even offer a Men's shorts option, otherwise we would have included it in the store along with the women's.



And sadly no helmets. We looked into getting custom helmets for this year, but most companies required 250 helmets (and some far more) at minimum so it was not feasible for us.

Never schedule Air Force, part 2. Blonde kid in aviators and a Michigan cycling shirt coming into screen from the left. Therefore that's my frame of the game.

As a student, I think finding

As a student, I think finding a 2-4 bedroom part of a house is the best and most cost effective way to go, although it will be hard to find a good one this late. In addition finding a good house takes a ton of time, so if time is an issue and money is not, then a high rise is the way to go.

If she does go the high rise route, sterling 411 lofts is the most reasonably priced and the apartments are nice. Some good friends of mine lived there last year and it's definitely nicer than some of the other high rises that charge $400 a month more.

Whatever she does, don't share a bedroom to save money. I've learned the hard way that the $200ish a month you save by doing that will not be worth it, even if it's with the best of friends.

We never order extra stock.

We never order extra stock. I'm in the process of taking over the kit orders for the club from Rob and we discussed this but the capital outlay necessary to have extras lying around just wasn't feasible. So the only way to order is through this kit order or the one that will happen sometime in January.
