Hi

First of all, my name is Javi, spanish, living in Milton Keynes

I want to buy a jersey, Cannondale if possible (the one with Slovakia flag would be great). I found http://www.procyclekits.co.uk/, and seems like it is a complete scam...

Any recommendation?

THanks

  • Welcome Javi.

    You'll find that some people on this forum buying their kit from Chinese websites and the quality sometimes varies. I don't have any experience of the website you mentioned, but have used cycling monton before and the quality was ok.

    The best thing to do is use the search function as you'll find plenty of reviews/opinions which might help.

    If you want the real thing you need to buy direct from the CPS store or a large chain retailer where you can go into a shop and try one on. Given they are about 85 euros for the shirt alone the prices may be a bit of a giveaway.

    I dont mind buying a replica, but based on comments, looks like they took the money and send nothing

    Do you mean replica or fake, the prices that you see are for clear fakes, if you want an official replica you need to use the Cannondale store or a major cycle retailer but you will pay a lot more.

  • Hi

    May be worth trying Planet X right now ...
    They've got a couple of different Cannondale jerseys at the moment, about £20-00 ech
    Still thinking of something clever to say!
