Hi, I've recently started to get into cycling and I've just splashed out and bought my first ever road bike. Now I would like to buy some pro team cycling jerseys but they seem very expensive and I haven't a clue about sizes. I was looking at this website and they seem very cheap. procyclekits.co.uk I assume they're fake but does anyone know what the quality/sizes are like and whether it's worth buying the imitation stuff or whether I should just buy the real deal? |

I wouldn't be so sure they're fake. From what I've seen they look like last seasons great, for example the Sky kit is Adidas they've changed to Rapha this year.

I just assumed they were fake because I've seen team kit on other websites for similar prices and they had some pretty bad reviews about the quality and coming from China etc. But now that you mention it they do mention 2012 quite alot so hopefully it is the real deal.

Wearing team kit is not quite the done thing, unless you are in the team. There are lots of very good bits of kit that are not team branded, probably better value overall too. |

Mr Logic, you may find you need XXXXL in certain brands  There are sizing guides on the pages for at least some of the individual garments, with actual measurements. Please, JO, we need just one Velominati-free zone for people who like to do training rides and sportives in top-to-toe pro team kit and have the occasional cappuccino. Just ONE. It's not a lot to ask, is it? |

Having looked closer, this gear does come from Hong Kong, it's just an English distributor.
