Share your secrets... the cyclewear with style!

Ok, so the Rapha stuff looks cracking but we're not all millionairres. I've seen a couple of examples though, recently, of much more affordable cyclewear at more reasonable prices.

My personal favourites are:

www.shuttvr.com - great 'roadie' wear with a traditional slant but modern materials / construction.

www.chromebagsstore.com - spotted this in another link someone posted on these forums today. Commuting / bike about town stuff, basied in America. Love the merino wool hoodie!

Any other sites people can suggest that are a little bit 'different' from the norm?

muxu, swrve for urban stuff, solocc for rodies

If you like solo here's their new urban range http://www.dernyclothing.com/index.cfm

Always Riding have a decent stock of nice stuff, Hincapie, Solo, swrve etc http://www.alwaysriding.co.uk/

I swear by Etxe Ondo, but difficult to get in the UK.

Pretty sure it was me that posted the Chrome link, Cadence cycle clothing also does some nice (fixie chic) gear on occasion -

Always had a good experience ordering from them too. Remarkably quick for a small company shipping from the US.

Hi,

How accurate is the Shuttvr sizing? Whenever I've ordered from Rapha, I appear to have recieived this chap's stuff by mistake.

I like that little guy, he`s a typical grumpy teenager and he smokes and he doesn't like being picked up by tossy tv presenters.

Anyone got any new ones to add?

Torm for nice plain stuff, good quality at a pretty good price.

Etxeondo is brilliant stuff. Torm looks very good.

I've been testing Cervo Rosso kit since the Spring. Great fit, great design !
There are some reviews on my blog (see below).

I think the OP means for those impromptu macchiato sipping moments rather than 'normal' cycling clothing

i`ve been looking for a belgian champion jersey as worn by gilbert which i could of got from the official pharma lotto site but that would take at least 10 days from payment from belgium( could drive there and back 5 times ! )
i then ended up on e bay and a top seller in china was selling a nalini top and bibs for £37 with free shipping ( the top alone is £70-80 in the uk)- should also be here in less than 10 days. all the feedback from this seller was good so i`ve got a bargain i think.
there was plenty of other nice kit on there too.

anyone had experience of buying from china ?

Surface!!

Small range but its superb, have 2xshorts, 1xhoodie and 1xjacket! Its much better priced than swrve with no loss of quality and personally looks better.
