Has anyone bought some of the jersey/short combos on EBAY? being that they are from Hong Kong or China I am guessing they are knock-offs but how is the quality of the fabric, shorts pad, construction? I have a couple cycling tours this summer and need to get some new gear.
Here are some ORCA two piece tri-pant and tri-singlet combo’s I have listed. Selling them at ‘knock off prices’. I have tried them and the tri-singlets are really soft wearing. Only size I don’t have is XL tri-singlets though which is my size, so am trying to loose some weight. They are nice and original product :

Bought some from the guy in S. Korea and they make some damned good stuff. Look up icrossroad on ebay. They are pretty cheap and really good quality stuff. Don’t have bibs yet, but Don said they are working on it.
The replica knock-off jerseys are ok, just a decent jersey, nothing fancy. The shorts are pretty horrible, the chamois is pretty brutal. They are obviously cheaply made, the seams are pretty ugly, but for a training jersey it works. I won’t wear the shorts at all.
I bought a jersey from that iCrossroads as well, and love it. Long sleeve, light weight, really comfortable fabric.
I bought a “cervelo” white jersey off eBay and while it is obviously a knock-off, the quality of the material isn’t too bad. It is basic poly-tech dryfit type stuff and the sizing was normal. They are good knock offs
I am skeptical about the bibs because of the cheaper materials.
ya i got a knock off a while back. its been the only cycling jersey ive had (almost for 1 year) and is only now showing sign of wear - some of the stitches are coming apart but i see it lasting for a good amount still
kinda concerned about who made them (underpaid laborers?), if i checked its location before i probably wouldnt have bought it. but overall the quality is good for the price
I too bought a Cervelo kit off ebay that was for long sleeve and pants. The pants are ok, not a very nice pad by any stretch. The jersey is nice but I bought a large and the sleeve are wayyyy too short for me, I feel really stupid wearing it at all but I figured what the heck it was only $40 buck or so. The pants are also kinda short too but look better than the top. I am only 5’10 and usually i can fit in a medium/large.
I bought a jersey from Hong Kong, It never arrived and it is the only ebay transaction I ever had a problem with. The seller was nice and gave my money back without making me jump through too many hoops.
I’ve ordered a couple as well, and they are good enough. Sure they aren’t going to be the same as a $200 Assos or something, but for the price they are great. I mean there are jerseys out there for $300 a pop! Unless they pedal the bike for me…
I tried searching for the icrossroads on eBay, and nothing came up. What am I doing wrong?
And are the shorts quality shorts, or crap?
This is the ebay store:

I’m also curious about them, $40.00 is kinda cheap, but not that cheap.
