Morning,

was after a specific Sportful jersey, that no one here seems to stock, but this place came up on a Google - never ever heard of them before, but appear to be UK (Woking) based.

http://www.cyclingoutfits.co.uk/

At first I thought it was just one of those front sites, where they flag a deal, and you click through and it takes you to the actual site, but doesn't seem to be the case.

Has anyone used them?

They seem to have LOADS of stuff, and some of it at reasonable prices - website seems a tad shonky, just wanted to make sure it's not some elaborate scam site!

    Pay on credit card if you are at all worried. And be ready to have credit card company reverse the transaction.

    The range they have seems to be exceptional but the prices don't seem special. The postal address is a semi in woking and they have not been going for long. I reckon he is (planning on) going back to back with a large continental store and trying to make a small margin on everything.

    Good call, no agreed, nothing too special, but they have some items that no one else in the UK seem to have.

    The website looks more and more shonky the more you use it, but I guess as long as they deliver it wouldn't concern me - no postage charges either from what I can see.

    Bit shonky but I suspect a dumping ground for pro and other kit things?

    I mean, http://www.cyclingoutfits.co.uk/mall/pr ... ort-sleeve

    Actually quite a lot of money but likely in a big box with all the other stuff.

    Bizarre and pricey eh.

    This was the top that caused google to lead me to that site:

    Bike Discount also have a long sleeve version, but I've kind of gone off it a bit since.
