Posts: 50
Anyone know of good indie cycling kit producers? So boring to ride around in the off-the-peg stuff everyone wears. I started to put together a list. Who's missing?

Always Riding stock some of their kit so you can get it over here.
In fact, they are a stockist of several of the kinds of brands listed in this thread.0 -

I have one of their jerseys, best jersey I have. They were really friendly when there was a slight stock mix up too, I'm easily pleased with free arm warmers!

Good post, but the list is too long. Seriously there are more brands than riders these days! It is out of control, good luck keeping up with it, everyone seems to be making cycling kits. I can talk about some of the ones I know or have heard of listed in all of these posts. Personally I prefer the clean look, funky designs are cool but they are nice today, old tomorrow. Simplicity is the key, this is what made Rapha the leader in such a short time.
These are my personal opinions, you can agree or disagree.
lecol.cc (UK based, made in IT. Seriously, if there wasn't a retired ex-pro behind this brand, it wouldn't exist. Average quality, average design, high price. Nothing special, you can spend your money much much better!)
q36.5.com (italian brand, looks good, don't know much about it. not overly common)
thepedla.com (aussie brand, made in china. they are trying hard but nothing special in quality)
torm.com (UK. Been around for a long time, born as the Rapha 'bad' copycat. I think they got sued by them too)
pasnormalstudios.com (Danish. nice but WAY WAY WAY expensive. Did I say it is expensive.No Lycra is worth that much)
belgianboysclub.cc (belgium. possibly the most unique of all. haven't tried it but heard very great things about it. to try)
maap.cc (aussie. grown heaps, quite popular, very flashy and also expensive. overpriced and not that 'indie'. lots around)
warsawcycling.com (french. just another brand)
lapassione.cc (italian. good quality vs price. boring styles, nothing to die for. not for the cool rider. apparently, very quite unknown in italy)
laclassica.com (italian. seems nice and well done. I like it but don't know much at all about it)
isadore-apparel.com (slovakia. Another ex pro behind the brand. Mix of classic and modern style. You like it or not. Good quality)
galiber.cc (looks nothing spectacular)
Pedaled.com (Italian made, japanese design/theme. Nice gear. haven't tried it but saw it and heard good things)
Phapparel.com (...another brand)
Attaquer.com (aussie. nice but expensive like all aussie brands)
cadencecollection.com (san francisco. Not missing out on much)
ornotbike.com (san francisco. been around for a little while too. quite plain but ok)
chapeau.cc (got better over time. started with some accessories. tends to copy a few designs but it's ok)
endless.es (spain. looks nice. mostly summer gear. great if you are spanish, one of the few spanish cycling brand )
searchandstate.com (usa. plain, apparently good. I like it)
blacksheepcycling.com (aussie. limited releases. expensive, nice)
thsi-is-carmbridge.com (bright bright bright can handle their website and it is bright.)
primaleurope.com (...skip to next)
panachecyclewear.com (not my thing. don't like anything about it)
.....
....
the list could go on for everrrr! Just the Aussies have tons of brands. italians still make most of it.
these are just my personal opinions. hope someone finds them useful.0 -

Little off-top: I am looking for long-sleeve jersey with the longest sleeve you can imagine. Castelli, DHB and other companies are tried are too short. Any ideas?0 -
No one has mentioned my favourite indy kit yet. And I'm not going to!Ben
