I am looking for some decent team style tops assuming the weather is on the up and I can pack away the long johns for a few months. I keep getting directed towards www.bike-mall.com however at the prices they are offering I cant help but think the tops are not genuine? Im not bothered about this as long as they are good quality.

Anyone had any experience of bike-mall or know where I can get Cube clothing from in the UK?

Many thanks

    I'd be interested to know too, the cube kit does look nice. The only other place to buy which I have found is Ebay shipped from China.

    Website looks like a bit dodgy... Does not display any contact details etc.

    on your bike in Hereford sell cube clothings.... Check their website

    Definitely chinese fakes. Quality likely to be lower than genuine kit, although how much lower seems to be variable.

    I'm relatively new to cycling and admittedly I was a bit naive to buy from Bike Mall. However, for the quality and price I cant complain. I bought a vacansoleil team jersey and bib set and its alot more comfortable than the Tenn bib I bought a few months before. The sizing is fine as long as you check the size guide and check your measurements. I'm a big lad and using cycling to lose some pounds but I am really happy to find a team (replica/knock off) jersey in a larger size. I'm sure more experience cyclists would avoid Bike Mall completely but for a beginner its perfect.

    The fake Chinese stuff is good IMO, about 25% less quality for 25% of the price. If your poor like me its pretty much the best you can buy for the money. I bought a fake Trek-Leopard set about Christmas time last year and it still survives, its faded a bit but perfecetly acceptable for commuting. I've just ordered more fake stuff from 'Cycling Monton' lets you pay over Paypal so put mind at ease slightly.

    I ordered something from bike mall. I knew it was fake, but quality is good. Came quick aswell.

    I can afford to buy the real stuff, but I personally believe it is way overpriced.

    Same with watches, I like a watch that looks good, if I could get an imitation TAG for £20 that looks exactly the same as a £2000 watch, I will buy it.
