Nice. Not sure about Svelte, I would never consider myself so.
And, well, you know, elephant in room.

Hmm...cheaper than Rapha, more expensive than Torm, but similar to both. Eg the plain Heritage jersey is very much like the Torm T3 jersey (ie very minimalist, but classy with it), and the Continental very much like the T2. I suppose there is room in the market for all, but I think they need a signature look of their own. I like the bibshorts though, and it looks like it has the Cytech pad if I'm not mistaken.
The arm warmers are something else though :shock:0 -
Yeah, the arm warmers are love it or hate it, the bibs look great. As you say, the overall design is nice on the jerseys but clearly inspired by...................My blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

they did a kickstarter thing earlier in the year, which seemed to take a fair bit of time to all come together in the end, and parts of it still dont seem to have yet, and it does look bit Rapha style, certainly the tops at least, but they dont really offer as much choice on the womens clothing side, so only thing Id be interested in is the arm warmers I think0

Arm warmers are very interesting whilst the jerseys are very dull, maybe they need something in the middle for both.0

Do they do a 3XL?

They did hold a fun Team Pursuit day at HHV a couple of weekends ago. We came second overall.

I was tempted to buy a Heritage jersey at the event to support them as they are local but couldn't bring myself to as they don't really offer anything different to the Rapha and Torm that I already own and there wasn't any discount for those racing.
I won some free arm warmers though, which I do like!

They may have initially put forward the sincerest form of flattery...which is just fine by me...but there's room to develop and create their own identity...people look at quality and price and they makes their choice!http://www.svelte-cycles.com/

Indeed. They don't do a ss with a full length zip in brigher colours, like yellow, either. Perhaps you could corner that market, Torm.

I like full length zips. I'm contractually obliged, marriage being a contract, to wear bright colours. Torm is otherwise great.0
