| Jun 19, 2014 at 20:10 | comment | added | Kibbee | I still use the Chinese bike jerseys and shorts from eBay. I can't justify the price difference. If there was something in between paying $20 for bib shorts on eBay, and paying $100+ at my LBS for bib shorts, I would gladly support my LBS. But the price for shorts an shirt is easily 3 times as expensive if I choose to buy local. | |

Aw jeez, man, I'm forever banging on at my daughter that she's there to learn, it doesn't matter what she looks like ;-) Seriously, just look around the web at what is available - when I started road cycling I hit a couple of chinese web sites selling....er...."replica" team kit (right down to the Made in Italy signs) to get me started. A lot cheaper than going to a bike shop, not as good quality, but got me started. | |
