only from the livestrong.org shop I'm afraid...

I'm very surprised that Nike stores dont offer anything

..and as it is based in the US expect to have to pay some import tax at the post office when you collect your items too...there is a limit of $50 that can get in the Uk free.

I think it's because Nike have stopped making all cycling related gear recently. At least, that's what my LBS told me (which explained their 50% off ALL nike stuff. Shame their elite bibs were slightly too long for my legs. Grr!)

teagar,

but if they have stopped making all their cycling gear.....why still sponsor and provide LA with his kit?

Also, from his Twitter page he has just been to a fitting for some of their cycling shoes...

Just what I was told.

Me too. My shoes are Nike but I bought them at a discount a couple of years ago. Can only find the occasional bit of Nike cycling kit on the web and they are usually being sold cheap.

No mention of cycling as a sport on the Nike website either

Because Nike have nothing directly to do with clothing manufacture - they are merely a brand control organisation that licences the brand onto whatever product they let their subcontracted manufacturers put the brand on

for all Nike are bothered, they could be specialized shoes with a swoosh stitched on !!

I wouldn't be surprised if they get back on the lance bandwagon at some point - but all they have to do is cut the deal with the celeb (Lance, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods) and have a subbie sort some threads for them to wear, job done

and if there is enough market clamour, cut a new deal and the subbie ships em out to the bike stores, Evans' if they want, even JJB if it suits the brand value
