    I have one - in red.
    Worth £50, not the retail price.

    Tight, cut for the bike (short when stood up), and lovely material. Well put together, and fab build quality. Get it.
    I'll have it if not - so pm me if you don't want it!

    What more can I say?

    They are simply the best cycling jersey money can buy - awesome quality. Paid over £100 for mine, so for £50 an absolute steel.

    Use for best though as they are so soft to touch you always think its gonna rip or something (but it wont) - its just so well constructed.

    Like I said when youve worn one of these nothing else compares, and I include Rapha in that of which I have a few aswell.

    long way down the page - compares the Uno and SS 13.

    I don't have the uno so can't comment.

    I have the Uno and it's fine. I prefer the styling to the SS quite honestly.

    Lovely jersey if you are the right shape. Some dealers had problems with customers buying these and being unhappy with the fit hence the reason Assos have brought out the Mille range, for less than skinny cyclists. However.....my partner has the womens jersies and she loves how they fit and their design but they are expensive. The mens jersies are not worth the money but my partner ended up with 4 of the womens ones incl. a sleeveless one which she uses abroad - where/when it's hot.

    Just I agree, its a lovely jersey. It didn't fit my friend that well but fits me like a glove. Its a great jersey, but not sure I would pay full price for it!

    On a really hot day, when you've been cycling for 4 hours plus...... thats when you really appreciate the quality of this jersey.

    Where can you find thse jerseys in the white & black? Every shop i look at seems to have what must be older stock, design looks a bit naff compared to these.

    Tht's why my girlfriend likes them, especially on a hot, long climb. Scarily she wore the sleeveless version in France last year and got a tan thro' the mesh back. If you are happy with the race fit and the price it is a lovely jersey. Primera may have black and white versions
