Well, the hunt continues. Got an email of a new line from Victory Chimp (better known for their socks, caps and other stuff), but have a couple of jerseys. Liked the look of a couple of them (two colours in this design) ;

Image

Mind you, at GBP 77 ea :shock: (translates to A$155 shipped)

Note : Meant to be free shipping worldwide over 50 quid, but doesn't seem to work, and doesn't take off VAT or add GST, so too expensive for me :?

Hunt continues !!

EDIT : Comms from Victory Chimp show that free international shipping is triggered at GBP100 :shock: and the prices on the site are ex-VAT, so for us Ozzies, the jerseys are GBP77 + shipping.

Probably a little to conservative for your tastes Galibier https://galibier.cc/short-sleeve-wear
I swear by their leather mitts, and own their Pave summer jersey, quality on a budget.

Looked at the Galibier ones, and well priced, but yes, a bit plain. But will keep my eye on them.

In the end, went with this one from Prendas.

As worn by Greg LeMond in the 1989 Tour - well, not actually worn, but the same style and 99% correct logos (Coors didn't respond to Prendas to give them permission to use the logo, so it's not there.
Twas on special, and the VAT reduction paid for the shipping - GBP45 shipped, so happy with that. And I like my retro stuff :D

Thanks for all the suggestions !!

you can find that jersey and other less outrageous but equally colourful at
https://racmmer-cycling.aliexpress.com/store/1052221

It is less than $20 shipped, It does not feel like a $20 jersey, sure it is not the same quality as the $100+ name jerseys I own, but comparable or better than most of the sub $100 jerseys in my wardrobe including my BNA Monton.

Size wise at 184cm 80kg 98cm chest 80cm waist and preferring race fit I went M, bad move fits across my chest but short, I really could do with a L (an XL would probably be too loose for my taste).

After 65kms today including 16km TT and a few showers
Hi nickobec,

These look really good! I need to update my 'commuting jersey stash', and some solid options in there. Have you tried any of there bib knicks? If so, any commenst around sizing and/or comfort?

Not yet

My commute is 40km and then I usually extended it with a bunch ride. So with two and half hours plus in the saddle. I tend to commute in good quality bib shorts rapha, veloone, capo.

I might buy a pair to test in the future.

There is gold in the feedback section on AliExpress you will find comments on sizing with purchasers height + weight

Is it necessary to have a full sleeve tatt these days when wearing a nice jersey or is a single....say a web on the elbow, or LOVE on the fingers..... enough?

It's either full sleeve or nothing. There's no middle ground.

it is the same racmmer kit as https://www.aliexpress.com/store/produc ... 43112.html on the Racmmer store of AliExpress, except an extra $20 more. There are a bunch of similar web stores supposedly in UK, Australia, US etc selling kit that is available from AliExpress at higher prices and shipped directly from China.

I discovered these:

https://shop.champ-sys.com.au/collectio ... oobs-30711
https://shop.champ-sys.com.au/collectio ... ocks-30713

Sort of nice with the very old colours on it (there is also an even older version). I'm not sure about CS quality, I've never worn any of the 'apex' level kit they have, that's supposed to be the very top quality kit. The regular CS stuff I find pretty poor, but someone I know was in a race team and their kit was CS Apex, he seemed okay with it... :?

Edit: this is pretty nice too:

Except the bit around the collar with the registration of the plane on it. :roll:

Some of these are available.

If they had my size, I'd even consider it as it is pretty rad !!

Bought a pair of bibs for commuting

184cm 77kg went for medium (my size is most brands), should of gone large.

Lasted two rides, the pad is too far back making it bloody uncomfortable ride.

So I would not recommend their bib shorts

Just bought a few of these Racmmer jerseys - $50 for 3 jerseys, cant complain. I'm 165cm with a 92 chest so went with the Medium....hopefully they aren't too tight because I don't like them skin tight.

Now to just wait the 3 months for them to show up :P - But hopefully the quality isn't too bad for my casual riding.
