I've seen several threads recently regarding good quality clothing and though it worth giving Velobici a shout out.

I bought one of these last week http://www.velobici.cc/franc-long-sleev ... 5054-p.asp and have to say both the product and service were fantastic. I had a sizing issue which was resolved really quickly without any trouble and the whole experience was great.

It's rare to find such good customer service so it deserves publicity

I need to save for more of their gear now :D

    I'll give you £50 for that ropey old Colnago for starters.

    Weirdness...been looking at that the last few days!!

    Too much money :( but in case I did decide to treat myself or find it in a sale what's the sizing like and is it really inbetween a jersey and a jacket? I run hot so could use something lighter weight than a normal jacket in this weather

    The sizing is as per their chart. It's larger than Castelli or anything italian which I always find small.

    The jersey is between a jersey and jacket, I haven't worn it on a ride yet but it's beautifully made and at least as good as my Gabba.

    Just an update - I've been using this jersey now for the past 400k and I love it. It fits like a glove, with a medium base layer I have felt neither hot nor cold in temperatures between 6 and 8 degrees. It's appears to be windproof also.

    I love it, it's an excellent piece of kit.
