Need some new shorts and Santini seem like a steal on the chain reaction website (see http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=32047) but I don't know the brand. Are they any good? What's the quality like?

Cheers

    Got some bibs. Top Quality.

    The SMS logo of Santini is all over the Pro Tour. They sponsor and make the World Championship Rainbow Jersey.

    Maybe the podium jersey, but the jerseys the champions wear is made by the Team's Kit Manufacturer, in 2010 it will be Hincapie.
    I like bikes...

    Damned good stuff! :D
    ...and good value at 'normal' prices... ...tends to be on the small side, size wise, so possibly order a size up from normal.

  • I've got some Santini stuff that I got from Prendas. Very happy with it. Lasted well and washes well with no snags.

    Very popular in Australia as I think they do (did?) a lot of the Australian national & AIS kit, and TDU jerseys.

    If you can afford a pair with the TwistGel insert, it's well worth the extra dosh. Much better than their standard CoolMax insert.
  • Got their Ireland kit (bibs and shorts) - excellent. Also from CRC.
    Visit Ireland - all of it! Cycle in Dublin and know fear!!
