Kit ordering over the Net


Wayne R

Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever ordered any kit from http://www.cycle-jersey.net before? Im wanting to get a new kit and they seem pretty reasonable. Kit (Top and Bib shorts)+ Worldwide shipping + Customs (which Ive heard is about 45%) works out to just shy of R600. Are there other online stores (local or Int) that you guys recommend? I dont really want to go the Rapid Sport / Anatomic guys (Nothing wrong, just not great designs) but dont want to pay R1500 from other retailers.

They sell knock-off of pro kit. Not replicas but knock-offs. The shammy is apparently okayish but he sizing is off.

Yeah, be careful with these kits, while the quality isnt too bad, the sizes are asian sizes so a fair bit smaller and the "replicas" arent exact copies in most cases so riding down the road, the guys around you will know you're wearing the fake stuff :rolleyes:

Just don't buy the rainbow stripes one. Only losers buy and wear rainbow stripes.

Me, I would like to get the BMC team kit from Hincapie. Prices in USD don't look too bad, but that 45% import duty is going to be the killer.

 

I wonder if they can't hide it in a water bottle. :o

Some feedback for you Wayne

 

I've been looking for kit as well. Been to a few shops around CT, Olympic, Bridge, cyclelab

On average you will pay R1200-R1600 for original bibs and R700-R900 for a top, Quality is good but personally I wont pay that much either. Just got back from anatomic factory shop and there is nothing you will like.

 

I came across cycling-jersey.net and decided to take a chance knowing that it is not original. Cost came to 56 dollars with delivery. I placed a order on the 29 Aug and yesterday my credit card was debited with R405 and I received a tracking no via email. I am interested to see if this is legit and how it compares to other original kits in terms of quality.

I bought an imported CSC kit from CWC a few yrs back and after many miles that chamios still looks new and material nice and soft. So the quality kits come at a price.

 

 

My friend ordered a 2011 BMC top from all4cycling.com. It cost him 79 euros. They hit him heavy with customs and express delivery in 1 week. You can clearly see this is an original, top quality made by Hincapie sportswear
