Nice Jersey! Do they come in Celeste?

No, I've never played dress up, but I definitely don't think its over the top... In fact, I've been trying to find Masi jerseys and/or shorts for a while now. Somebody was selling a new pair of Masi shorts on E-Bay that were perfect (yellow/purple, just like my bike) but too small... Anyone know a good source for vintage clothing, or have anything Masi they'd like to get rid of? New fabrics or old style wool, doesn't matter.

Here's a good pic. By the way, also pictured on one of the bikes is an Edco rear derailleur... can anybody tell me about these?
