Just been having a look at some ebay items listed by a seller called keblecollege. Sells mostly shirts made in 100% polyester by Austy. They look a little suspicious to me -- there was one advertised yesterday as a Francaise des Jeux replica shirt. On close inspection the logos read 'France Caise des Jeux' and the UCI logo is in the wrong place. There's also an Armstrong-era yellow jersey that looks even more inauthentic. Hmmmmm.

    The France Caise one's finished now. Here's the 'Lance' one:

    There's another really bad Quickstep one that even has a photo of Tom Boonen wearing the real thing next to the inferior one on sale....

    The sad thing is that somebody's going to be very disappointed when they have a close look at it after it arrives. 20 quid (or more) down the drain.... Almost enough to buy a genuine one!

    Got the cheek to put Lance in the real thing right next to it as well. What a bandit!

    It possible to report these as copyright infringement? They're clearly fake somethings.

    Report them to Ebay. By using terms like "replica", "as worn by" and "a piece of cycling history" they are clearly making claims that would make Del Trotter blush.

    Got some nice new russian camcorders.....
