Although I didn't do it for the option to buy the jersey, I quite like the Orange this month.

Anyone bought a previous one and have an opinion on quality versus others?

I guess I'm after a good quality orange jersey!

    I have a couple (not a boast). Best quality jersey I have ever seen. Really nice.

    They need to be at that price though. Not to mention the £25 surcharge I just received from UPS for import VAT and handling.

    Yes I have the option to buy one for the gran Fondo and does look good, but don't want to be attacked as a strava hunter, when out riding

    Apparently they are made by cuore, and with taxes and stuff will come to around £73.

    I'm very tempted to this month's because I like the colour but as has already been mentioned I'm wary because of being attacked as a Strava hunter (though my lack of ability should make that obviously not the case)

    Same for me, I'm slightly worried about that too, but anyone who sees me cycling up a hill wouldn't be under any illusions...

    The bibs look interesting too, especially as they're cheaper when you get a jersey at the same time which puts the bib price bang in the middle of the high end bib bracket. Also brings down the shipping.

    Wouldnt worry about being attacked as a Strava hunter. The fact that youve completed a challenge such as that would get you my respect! Iv just sent off for my Gran Fondo 6 jersey, there's no way im not having somthing to show for suffering 85 miles

    I did last months as well but this month was in torrential rain so extra deserving of the effort. I think I'm going to get it and the bib shorts too.
