Anyone tried the Ebay cycling jerseys/ shorts from China?...

[Rob Crutch]

...for example something like these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2010-TREK-CYCLING-JERSEY-BIB...

They look like really good value, and having a scout about and looking at the feedback sellers are receiving everyone who has bought one seems very happy. Am I missing something? Are they genuine? Are the shorts comfy? I can't see a reason not to buy them being unable to find any bad feedback, unless someone can tell me otherwise?

TIA

I bought jersey & bib shorts from this seller:

Excellent - but don't take too much notice of the size guidelines, following them I ordered XXXL shorts whereas XXL would have been right so if you're normally XXL get XXL.

Thanks for that, good to know the quality is ok. Hadn't seen that seller before, their prices are even better than I'd seen

tried to buy from him, but it kept saying the seller has not specified postage prices for your items, not sure what to do

I've ordered a jersey from that seller now too - thanks for the link. Will update once it arrives but for £20 you can't really grumble.

Look up 'all items from this seller' and some items should be listed with an international delivery option.

What one did you order?

I wanted to get the saxo bank kit, but obviously I couldn't...

thanks Roman, I'll have a look.

Went for the 2010 Cervelo long sleeve one - I've seen someone wearing one a few weeks ago and liked it, but the £70 odd for a 'real' one put me off a bit. This way I'll see how I get on with one before splashing out

Yep, I've bought a couple of jerseys and a jersey/shorts combo. Jerseys were ridiculously cheap compared with UK sources, the combo package in Trek colours worked out at £35 delivered; again very cheap for coolmax shorts.

Quality wise - well, they are thinner material than the Uk jerseys I've bought with lightweight zips but I've got to admit they've worn just as well. The shorts were very comfy, well made with a good insert and certainly equal to the ones I've bought in the UK. (I normally paid £30-£40 for shorts until I bought off Ebay)

Would I buy again ? Certainly. The only problems I could see were the long delivery times, typically 2-3weeks, and the sizing. I'm normally a UK medium but bought "large" and the jerseys are a snug fit. I'd assume one size up for everything and it'll be about right.
