Tri Gear - local?

[Kevin]

I am doing my first Tri at the GCT and am wondering if there is a local store that carries Tri gear (shorts, tops, etc) as I'd rather support local rather than some big online retailer.

In addition, any recommends on shorts and tops?

Bike Authority, our sponsor, has triathlon gear.

You can also get tri gear at Second Sole and the Triathlete Store. (There's a thread about the Triathlete Store at clevetriclub.proboards44.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1184007860)

I just went to the Triathlete Store in Cleveland Heights. They have an on-line site as well.... www.thetriathletestore.com

Really nice people, guy and his wife that run it out of their basement. It is great b/c you can actually try stuff on. They are both do tri's as well so for a newbie like me it was great b/c they answered a lot of my questions. And you can go on-line and see what they have before making the drive out there.

It is by appt but they are very easy to work with. That is the best place i have found so far.
