Tean GB 2012 Cycling Tops

cavasta, August 11, 2012

Does anyone know where I can buy a Team GB 2012 short sleeved top? Everywhere I've seen is sold out or says the top is discontinued. Any ideas?

Did you want a genuine one or a far eastern knock off.

The knock off on ebay can be had for £25 bib shorts and jersey

Try calling Geoffrey Butlers, website says no stock but they got a delivery mid-week

Crazy prices on ebay. £150-£200?!!! Plus some less than genuine looking ones...
Thanks for the tip off about Butlers - I'll give them a ring.

Go onto ebay and try this ebay shop -
huilei8816.

I have bought a couple of shorts and top sets. They are dirt cheap. Mind you they wont last more than a couple of years but depending on how much you wear it you never know.

These ebay shops are hilarious.

THEY ARE SO FAKE.

What happens if you get caught?

Do they even care?

They come from China and are probsbly made in the back of a shack in the middle of nowhere so i dont think anyone cares about them.

Fake they might be but i certainly cant afford to shell out ridiculous prices for replica kit.

My work shirts are made of the same material as my only "proper" team cycling top and they cost just over 30p each to purchase AND they come from China. Makes you think about how much mark up the retailers make for replica kit.

Yep, like I said on the other thread, I'd like to order some **hushed tones** replica oakleys.

Why pay 250 quid for something when you can get the EXACT same for 6.

Even that is outrageous markup on what can at maximum cost about 30p to produce.

Hmmm

Lets hope the uci wade in on this?

What would theoretically happen if the Boon just rocked up wearing a sneaky pair of replica oakleys?
