I know it's an oxymoron...

I'm after some non-team branded cycling jerseys. I'm not a world champion, king of the mountains or anything else either! I loved the old Rock Shox jersey when it was out, but now there's not much around.

Anyone have any suggestions where I can get such items of apparel?

when 'm feeling flush i go for www.shuttvr.co.uk becuase they have simple designs and use quality material but i like altura stuff too because its good quality and affordable! tend to err away from foska et al.

Pablo - eek How much? Very good looking though (the products) - thank you.

CoolC - Thank you as well (it's what actually prompted this post) - I'm 46" chest, so a little snug!

Or if you want something fun, but not team wear there is always Foska

i did say when i'm feeling flush but there are two important factors, firstly the material they use is unbelievable and secondly, it just stays fresh and comfy all day. i have a few of these altura jerseys for the summer http://www.rutlandcycling.com/26190/Altura-Airstre... they are incredible value for money when you are out on the bike a few times a week and need a clean jersey.

I get almost all of my stuff from this website; http://discountcyclewear.co.uk/

I think they sell end of the line/last season stuff, its all good quality branded clothing and usually at least 1/2 the price of the mainstream online cycle shops. Particularly like the Northwave stuff, but you will need to buy a size (or two) up as the Italian cut is a tad on the short side.

If you are unsure what size you need drop them a mail, I have always found them very helpful and very willing to change/exchange things if they don't fit!

You'd have to be really good, or have no shame to wear that. Luckily, I fall into the latter 'camp'... biggrin

(Just realised a problem with the crash test dummy one - bugs love the colour yellow... hmmmm)

Thanks for everyones input - much appreciated.

Have a look at torm.cc . Good quality merino jerseys in a style that is similar to a certain London based manufacturer of high priced but lovely merino garments. So much so that torm had to cease trading for a while until certain amendments were made to their designs & website.

Likewise; I have no intention of being affiliated with any team, its just a bit of fun.



Swerni - that engine one is absolutely fantastic (in fact, they're all excellent).
