Anyone else addicted to buying jerseys?

[jamiebae]

I seem to be addicted to buying cycling jerseys, and I'm hoping I'm not alone in this... I cycle once a week if I'm lucky so really only need a couple, but can't seem to stop buying them, so at the moment I have a Sky one, a Paul Smith Giro blue one, a couple of decathlon ones and I've just ordered an Assos 8 day one. Being a sucker for emails from Wiggle I found myself drawn to the Giro stuff they notified me of today and I NEED the Barolo Jersey so am now waiting for that to come back into stock.

I think I need help...

I'm not addicted. But I have far more than that.

I only started about a year ago, and I seem to be suffering from severe budget creep - £60 seems OK now, but when I started £20 was the most I'd spend. I'm not entirely sure where this is going to end...

Rapha.

i have a bit of a sad obsession with obscure continental teams so web sites like this are my nadir...

Yes I will put my hands up I to have a penchant for jerseys. I like the old retro ones particularly the wool ones. So far I have a 1980's Castelli tour de france, Vintage Impsport Tour of Britain yellow, Vintage Santini wool Capponi

Vintage wool Gitane J robo. Some of my newer ones are Santini MG Maxifuel, MG X power and Acid house smiley plus Endura winter jersey and MTB tops. They soon mount up and you can soon spend a few quid.

The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it... I can resist everything but temptation.

I'm yet to be caught by the Rapha bug, largely because they have an overpriced Swiss web shop, whereas most stuff I can order from the UK and not pay VAT (Assos outlet, Wiggle etc)

You don't really have that many. I've seen threads on here where people have posted their collection and some were more than 10. I have 5 and they are for different seasons. I have couple more to buy then, I'll probably be done

From what I've gathered, wearing the Team Sky jersey is a bit of a cycling fashion fopar, but each to their own.

The OP really must never look at prendas.co.uk

What have you done... What have you just done!

Daughter bought me a Jura Merino wool jersey last month for my birthday, very nicely made.

I know what you mean about the Sky jersey, I thought long and hard about it, but it's a very cheap Rapha top (was heavily reduced after Christmas) and I don't live in the UK so there isn't the same stigma related to team kit over here.

It seems I'm OK on quantity so far, which is good as a box of Assos goodies has just turned up at home...

I agree. Weird how many people wear the fox pass though despite this.
