Cheap eBay jerseys/bibs

[Chicken Chaser]

Anyone seen these? I know theyre Cube branded but cheap isnt the word!!!?? Probably comes from the same factory as the rest our clothing to be fair.....

Actually if you look at their eBay shop, theyve got loads of different team kits which look surprisingly genuine......

I bought quite a few Chinese bibs and Jersey combo's and so far have all been excellent they are'nt far off the real thing as long as you buy off a decent seller and I actually find the coolmax padded bibs to be slightly more comfortable than my genuine Sky and Saxo Bank ones.

Main reason I got them was to wear on the commute and have the ability to change everyday and not end up wearing stinking kit by the end of the week

Rule #17
/ Team kit is for members of the team.

Wearing Pro team kit is also questionable if you’re not paid to wear it.


That aside, it does look rather good value...

Ahh, balls to that. I think some of it looks cool. Cycle gear is such a rip off considering it's made from such cheap material. I like the McDonalds set - on looks and also for the sheer irony of it.

I had the same thought maybe that in an XL + a fatsuit...

just be aware when ordering from china, the sizes come up small.

i usually get a large for UK clothes (6 foot,44 chest 36 waist, 12.5 stone). with the outfit i bought i ended up with xxl shorts and xl top!!!

quiality is excellent. had it for a year and been through the washing machine many times, and it's all hanging together nicely. mind you i paid a comparatively huge amount for my set (£33) instead of the £hundred and something being demanded by scam-merchant UK retailers

[Chicken Chaser]

Yeah I did think of rule 17, but then thought that they were far cheaper than the other stuff so I think ill buy a winter set and see what its like.

The price looks a bit too cheap to me, but you never know until the kit arrives. But I've bought kit from China via Ebay and on the whole it's been excellent VFM, so much so that I won't buy team-style jerseys in the UK any more.

I bought a retro blue Trek team jersey for a tenner & a more expensive black Trek jersey+shorts for £33. 2yrs on the blue has faded on the back (and in our summer as well !) but is otherwise fine, no pulled stitching, zips working, etc. The black kit is coolmax material, no fading, absolutely mint despite being worn more than the blue. It's certainly the equivalent of anything you can get in the UK at twice the price.

[TonyHetherington]

It's been removed - is there a reason?!

[Uriel]

Because they're dodgy counterfeit goods?

I don't know why they seem so accepted by folk that would be appalled at the thought of buying knock-off Calvin Klein t-shirts or fake Rolexes or whatever.

[TonyHetherington]

That's what I assumed - but there seems to be so many of them available, which puzzled me.

[Saddle bum]

Some riders wear legacy team kit because it reminds them of the "good ol' days" when they were young!

Marcarini retro jersey

When men were men and women were glad of it...........

The sizing was a bit odd. I was looking at the back length and it had before and after sizes, neither of which seemed to match what I was wearing with comparison with the chest width.
