    How so? They sell customized team clothing for clubs and groups with no mention of any replica kits. A pretty serious claim to be making if you can't prove it.
    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.

    Bargepole material.

    No email address,
    No returns address,
    No telephone,
    No location indicated, as far as I can see.

    They might actually send you something (from Indonesia perhaps) but if it's cr4p you have little chance of getting it replaced or fixed.

    I wouldn't go near them. There are plenty of other custom kit sellers who deal properly.

    This looks like replica kit to me:

    And their logo bears more than a passing similarity to CRC...

    He he! I like the thought of Saxo Tinkoff riding in shorts rather than bibs. I guess the team radio could always go down the front to help the look :)

    It is very dodgy, this is almost the same as a company that created a website to sell bikes, they copied a company in the UK, but changed the name slightly.

    The website and script was almost the same, but selling the items cheap, usually this is the give away:

    "We offer flexible payment options, including wired transfer (T/T), PayPal and Western Union".. this is from the website you have linked!

    STAY CLEAR!!!
