    Reported to eBay as selling counterfeit goods - now awaiting a response from eBay !!

    Hopefully they will take action in light of recent bad press coverage for amazons lack of action against counterfeit items being sold on amazon and being stored / despatched by amazon

    Yeah good luck cleaning up eBay....

    I've bought cheap kits off ebay in the past. Shorts aren't up to much but the tops are pretty decent. It's only a bit of lycra. Why do people pay north of 100 for a top that'll be last year's design in a few months?

    well at least they are honest and not selling them as originals ... they have a "twisted" conscience, Screw over Castelli but not the shopper

    They'd be even more honest if the word "replica" was in the listing title.

    I read 'replica' as a replica team jersey, as opposed to one actually from a real life Sky rider or similar. Not a simile for knock off.
