acidstrato

Sky themselves dont even seem to know when they will be on sale so how can ebay

Ribble also have a page for them, but no stock. AFAIK they won't be on sale 'till end of April at earliest. Wouldn't have thought there would be any genuine kit in eBay yet if the retailers don't have it 'till the end of the month.
Will be getting it myself me thinks, looks rather smart.

I have my name down on the list to be advised when this kit has been released by Adidas in the UK.

As far as I can tell anything on e bay will be not be legit. Buyer beware.

Wonder how many will have matching Pinarellos?

Most Sky kits on ebay are fakes from Hong Kong/ China Etc.
There is one seller who i believe has bought some genuine ones from europe and is selling them on for £40 a go. I think i'll stick to my club kit!

Genuine Adidas Sky kit hitting the stores at the beginning of May. I'd say that the authentication of the ebay kit is to be questioned as even Sky themselves (the company not the team) are having to wait until May.

Neil McC

Official release 10th May

Not for me. Happy with my plain jersey :-)

Just can't get my head around riding around in a professional team kit. Best left to the pros in my view.

I could see a market for some kind of diffusion line though, where, say Adidas, produce a range of kit with a subtle nod to the Sky colour scheme etc, but without all the other sponsors etc.

I don't like overly fussy jerseys at the best of times - always felt sick last year every time I caught a glimpse of the Serrimenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Androni.................jersey!!!

Kids play football/rugby/basketball etc etc in pro jersey's, why not cycling? Not saying I disagree with you Pedro I'm just being devil's advocate.

drewfromrisca

Big kids as well as the little kids :oops:

I dont mind if people want to wear pro kit. But you WILL get the piss taken out of you on any club ride if you do wear the king of the mountains top and youre not a $hit hot climber.

Blimey £30 for armwarmers ? I think I'll pass.

It's this attitude that endears people to join their local clubs :roll:

Live and let live if you like it wear it. If you want to show your allegance to a certain teams then do so.

On the other hand.

If you do rinse them, they look pretty stupid for taking the p!ss.

Cycling clubs do tend to be like that - I'd be surprised if any were different. That said - if you take offence at stuff like that - your skin is pretty thin.

It's not only clubs - if you turn up to most group rides in a jersey that suggests you're a top grimpeur you'll be expected to do it justice or cop some grief. It's not the same as a team jersey.

For me I don't see the point of advertising Sky, they can pay to do that themselves. I can follow/admire/respect the riders without dressing like them or being an advertising hoarding on wheels. I have absolutely no problem with anyone who wears pro replica kit, but I don't like paying for the privilege of putting a big company's name on view. And cycling isn't like football (thank god).

It felt SO good today breezing past a guy on a carbon fiber bike with all the fancy kit on - and there was me, plain t-shirt and shorts- No clipless pedals, no fancy kit, no carbon frame....

Just a " shitty " aluminium Trek 1.2, a good heart and the legs to match! No point in having the kit unless you can do it justice
