i've been having a browse on ebay for cheap jerseys, and I've found it's awash with obviously fake jerseys and bibs, some coming as a set for <£30.

so has anyone had any experience of this? I understand that you'll get what you pay for with this stuff and it won't be high quality, but as something just to wear while out training it can't be THAT bad.. can it?

    i got some stuff the other day is good for the money and if you come off the bike or get it minging during the winter its no hard lines. just make sure you get the correct size as sending back will take ages

    Got a thermal Saxo top off the guy called "525 summat or other", great quality :) Sizes are on the small side, so I`d bite the bullet and order one size larger than you really think you need.

    Official / genuine Sportful shirts are similar sizing as well though, their XL shirt is no-way an XL, more like a medium, defo smaller than the Craft shirts for the same marked size.

    I bought some Livestrong bibs from the seller called zongshoueb. Went for the large and although not as tight as the mediums NikeVW bibs, my only other coparison they are comfortable thought they didn't keep me very dry in the rain last night which was the first time I wore them. I only bought themn as I wanted some black shorts and the only others I've seen were the TeamSky addidas shorts at £70.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    You honestly expect lycra to keep you dry in the rain???
