    No, I'd not heard of them until now. It looks like they're trying to copy Rapha in some ways but I don't really like the kit that much. The branding looks a bit wrong somehow.

    A guy at work wears it and seems pretty happy with it.

    (slightly useless response, but the best I can manage today...!)

    Be interesting to see if any other people on the forum have used this kit

    got hold of some of it in a bike shop where it was in boxes waiting to go out. nice enough but nothing special and very expensive. right up there with Assos and Rapha price wise but in my humble opinion not quality wise. tried on their long sleeve cycling top which was fine although the collar was a little loose...however it was £130 the same price as a Rapha long sleeve jersey and the Assos Intermediate Jersey and I definitely have either of those 2 over the Le Col top.

    Quite!... QUITE!!... Jeez :shock:

    Looks the b0llox, though :wink:
    I'd go for a white one, if I had a Colnago...

    I love the look of this kit, but sent them an email asking whether they could take off the colnago and FSA logos, they said there would be asurcharge but would be possible. I was thinking of having my own clothing done, with my own logo, but all these companys want minimum orders of ten or more. So this option looks good. hopefully a bit more exlusive than Rapha.

    I have Rapha, Assos and Lecol kit. Don't judge it until youve tried it. The garments are race fitted and technical.
    Rapha is nothing special, the clever marketing and photography make it look better than what it is (who has ever bought a pair of Rapha Bibs?) and dont get me wrong Assos make awesome gear, their shorts are fantastic but their is nothing special about their jerseys at all.

    Le Col kit looks sleek and is something different which makes it unique.
