Worth a thread in itself I think.
I'll kick off with Vintage Velos (http://www.vintagevelos.com (http://www.vintagevelos.com)), which has a cracking range, including this Merino tricolore in long and short sleeve:

some very nice stuff there, not seen that site before

Have had a couple of pairs of the Quoc Pham 'Fixed' shoes (which have been featured on the site before), which look lovely but can't take much punishment. http://www.quocpham.com/products/index.html (http://www.quocpham.com/products/index.html)

Am now in love with the Vittoria Line 1976 range - especially the suede/calfskin ones (though yet to find a UK supplier of the latter - anyone know...?)

Parker International seem to stock the black ones but not the suede. Can't see the suede ones (lovely though they are) lasting long in British cycling weather.
These are an alternative

Absolutely dying for a pair of these (or the lace up Giro's that Phinney dons) but unfortunately records have rinsed me of any reasonable funds for them.

the Rapha Grand Tour are my favourite shoes but at £300 - they're never going to adorn my feet

I don't even look at Rapha any more mate, it's depressing.

Some lovely stuff on there. Have the orange short sleeve one that my brother got me as a present but is a bit too tight I'm afraid. Might have to chuck it in the sales section ;-)

There was some time ago a wonderful white, long sleeves cycling polo with red tipping al Vintagevelos -more tennis than cycling, really-, but it disappeared suddenly from the page before I could buy it. By the way, does anyone know an e-store which sell cycling polos? I mean cycling jerseys with polo collar and -usually- two pockets in the chest. I know some italian brands are making them, but I can't find them online.

Funnily enough, I'm looking for one of those 'cycling polos' myself, particularly the Bianchi ones from the 50's. As for Cycling polos, tried looking for the One True Saxon ones? They pop up on eBay more often than not for under £20.

Thanks, Jonny, in fact I bought the red/white one & other in grey/black when they appeared, maybe three/four years ago. The red/white was beautiful, but it didn't stand even one wash, the red faded and mixed with the white, a total mess. I still use the other, though. That was OTS: fine designs but a risk when it came to materials or sizing.
If you're lucky with the Bianchis let us know. Guess I'll wait for some archive reproduction, may be Le coq sportif? their last line of polos&cycling tops is great, smarter I think than the Bradley Wiggins' for Fred Perry.
-
the very same thing happened with my OTS red/white top, annoyingly I managed to 'hole' the blue one that i bought at the same time rendering both as 'house wear' >:(

Quite like the look of this one from Prendras:

nice, I like that. I could spend a s**t load with prendas! Quality is good and their service is second to none. Their meraklon arm warmers at 7.50 pair are superb value

These are the kind of top I was talkin' bout: anyone know how to get them online? The company name is Claudio & they're italian.

Sorry but the black/white tops are simply awful ! They look/belong more horse racing than
Velo !
-
The yellow one isn't any better, I wouldn't wear any personally. Also I was in Oi Polloi yesterday and had a look at those Le Coq Sportif cycling jerseys but I thought they were very thin and not the greatest quality, I wouldn't pay the £60 asking price for one.

Sorry fella but they are lovely to wear.

I've always liked the look of them and if they ever come up on sale I'd probably buy one but just don't think they're worth £60

£60 ain't much though now. Each to their own.
Good buy with the dessies, are they the wolf colour?

They're just the standard sand colour with the red stitching, that's a good rule of thumb replacing them each year especially with how much use I get out of them. I've got a pair in blue too by Kurt Geiger.

Horse racing, yeah, and so what? I'm sure there's a connection between early cycling clobber and the jockeys' shirts. I was just trying to get away from the typical 60s and 70s cycling tops we all know and love. Besides, there's a definite mid-60s feel about these maillots, I can easily picture K Moon or Daltrey wearing one of them in, say, 66. Not the kind of tops I would myself wear, I'm getting subtler with age, but I like them.
By the way, own some le coq sportif cycling tops and the quality is more or less like FP, it's true also that the merino ones are on the thin side.
-
Not sure if this should be in 'clothes for sale', however I've a Prendas St Raphael Jersey (Anquetil)
http://www.prendas.co.uk/details.asp?typ=typ&fkid=2&ID=1220
It's XS which is a good fit at 34" but a little too short for me. Only worn it once and have the original packaging but no tags.
£20 + pp
I'll get a picture up at the weekend if anyone's interested, or PM me.
-
A lovely jersey and a steal at that price. In case he doesn't see it I suggest contacting 'jonny' direct by pm as I know he is around the same size

can confirm that the sizes are very reliable

Thanks may pick one up.
I can also vouch for 'Torm' jerseys which are essentially a 'poor man's' Rapha, to almost the point of parody, but saying that I own a couple of their jerseys and they've not done me wrong at all yet.

Someone's actually done a side by side review of a Rapha jersey and a Torm jersey which was quite interesting.
http://chasingwheels.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/review-torm-vs-rapha-jerseys.html
-
I've looked at a Torm jersey in the past, a green one I think it was but never pulled the trigger so to speak.
-
Nice, and no ironic beards
-
This ones been on my wish list for a while, saw a guy wearing it last year during the Rourkies Cat & Fiddle ride and thought it looked really simple yet stylish and moreover it deviates slightly from the ever popular Rapha which is a plus for me.

These are the kind of polos I was refering to in an earlier post. De Marchi is doing them now in Italy & there are at last 5 or 6 of them: national teams reproductions, 2 special editions for the Giro and even a basic polo with rear pockets. I've just included 2 images cos inserting pictures here is a pain in the ass. They're easy to get online too (to name just 2 shops: Chain reaction & All 4 Cycling), but they're way too expensive (basic polo= 77 €, the rest from 104 €). Guess I'll have to wait for the summer sales.

£80 off the Shutt Performance Jacket until the end of May, very tempted to buy one for myself:

-
jesus! if i didn't already have a Giordana winter jacket and a rapha rain jacket I'd snap that up. Great jacket, not as nice as their usual stuff but technically a 'must have' in the armoury
-
Yeah I thought for that price it's gotta worth a punt, somebody mentioned they got the Rapha one for £120 in the sale so I'm reluctant to pay the current price of £200 for one.
-
that was me - got it for £110.00 - most comfortable piece of kit I own, and being a rain jacket it really shouldn't be should it? I really can't fault it!
-
Yeah that's a very good price considering some of their other gear such as that new Rapha-Raeburn wind jacket made out of recycled parachute canopies for £300. If I don't buy the Shutt one I'll be keeping my eye out for another price drop on the Rapha one.
-
Knitted Fred perry cycle top , quality recent purchase . More casual than bike so will not get a airing on my forthcoming alpine adventure.

A few really nice items on this website. I came across it after seeing a pair of really nice retro gloves in a photo and after a bit of research found out where to buy them from, it's the Gantolo Gloves 006 that I really like the look of and €30 is reasonable although I have no idea about shipping and my German is poor to non existent.

Bianchi's about to launch a new cycling line to commemorate the 2013 edition of l'Eroica. They'll sell the clobber in their webpage but there are no dates at the moment. The 40's looking polos and culottes are made of a "technical" wool, gonna be expensive (think more of 150 € the shirt), and there'll be just one colour (you guessed it? pale blue).
The "leisure wear" items may be more interesting, at least their pricing: 80+ € the polo (guess it'll be pique) and just above 100 € the track jacket, besides, Bianchi'll offer them in a few colours. Here you have the first images (think they'll sell tees too):

Not quite sold on that. Is it right to just dislike it purely because I think the writing is too low down?
-
You're right in fairness. It would have been better to raise the script up to say a 3rd down and out the banding strip below. Top part with the buttons still looks cool. But whatever they did with it £150 is just mad, and that's coming from a Rapha fan.
-
You'll just have to settle for the La Centième silk scarf then at a mere £50.

I'll take 2 at that price ;)

I've only just got into cycling and I'm looking for a pair of cycling shoes.
I love the look of the Vittoria Loricas, but, given that it is regularly pissing down where I live, ventilation holes in the shoes are a bit of a hindrance.
Anybody know of any ones of a similar style?
-
They're definitely a classic look but I love my Specialized Expert road shoes, they're so stiff and the Boa lacing system is very good. Whatever you choose don't let the rain put you off just buy a pair of waterproof overshoes and you'll be fine, I've got a pair of BBB Heavy Duty ones and they've always kept my feet warm & dry in wet conditions. I think Fizik & Lake do some in a similar style to the ones you posted so they're worth a look.

If it's a retro shoe you're after then in my opinion, look no further than these:
http://www.quocpham.com/products/fs0905.html
-
go for the vittorias and either get a pair of overshoes or if you really don't like them then get some sealskinz socks. That's my preference above overshoes as my feet don't like being in overshoes unless it's around the freezing mark. If going for that option though, I would try and size up on the shoe (if you can) as the seal skinz are quite thick - best to try before committing to buy
-
Thanks folks, I was leaning towards the Quoc Phams but I had heard that the leather wasn't up to much.
Seeing as they're still made in Italy, I reckon I'll give the Vittorias a whirl. Thanks very much for the SealSkinz shout as well.
-
Have you considered Dromarti? Very nice.
-
The Dromarti shoes look fantastic, really nice!
Might be a daft question, but I can't find an answer anywhere else. If I use just generic flat pedals, what would be the best style of shoe sole to get? All the recommendations I've seen so far have involved 'skater-y' trainers which aren't really my thing, surprisingly enough.
-
It depends on what cycling you've got in my mind. Even if you want to avoid cleats I'd suggest fitting toe-clips, you'll get more out of your bike and avoid having to wear things with 'grippy' soles. Clips would also suit the retro shoes and I think you can get the QP shoes with 'street' soles.
-
What Dlevahn said is spot on. You say you've just got into cycling..perhaps you can elaborate a little. Is your cycling for commuting, getting fitter a maybe riding sportives etc.
I did 50 miles today (non stop rain) and for me there's no way I would have ridden in flat pedals. Being "locked in" does take a little getting used to but coupled to stiff soles makes the most of every pedal stoke (pulling up and pushing down).
If your riding is purely for leisure during the summer months, with shorter flatter routes then the shoes you've indicated would be fine.
-
What about these as worn by Taylor Phinney:

Basically, I gubbed my ankle playing 7s about 6 months back. Someone told me that cycling would help me get back to running without putting too much strain on my injury. So that's me been cycling away for about 3-4 months now.
It's purely for leisure, and I'm doing 30km about 3 times a week, sometimes more.
Again, thanks for all the advice folks, it's much appreciated!
-
90 to 100 k's a week suggests the need to a proper pair of shoes (none of those retro leather ones you've been looking at) and a set of cleats to match your pedals. Shimano or Look do basic novice pedals, both will take a little practice clipping in and out but easy after a little practice. I'd then go to my local cycle shop...Evans carry a wide range and try as many pairs as possible as they will all feel and fit differently and nothing is worse that riding in badly fitting shoes. Budget anything between £50 to £100.
-
Will do. The search continues!
-
You are doing fair mileage and therefore should be looking to buy a pair of quality cycle shoes (forget the vintage look) , today's sports footwear has evolved for good reason . Advanced technology and materials are beneficial to comfort and performance. If you require a shoe that is easier to walk in then look at spd's (as they are often available as similar to the road shoe). I have a few pair of shoes (various bikes) but my dmt are favourites.
-
Might be of interest to some, particularly if you're a fan of front pockets.

Exactly the sort of thing I've been looking for, and great prices! Thankyou.

Same for me, they're nice, thanks mate!

I've always liked the look of them and if they ever come up on sale I'd probably buy one but just don't think they're worth £60
Earlier today I received the green Le Coq from the Menlook sale (http://uk.menlook.com/short-sleeved_polo_shirts/auron-tricolore-green-polo-shirt-99652.html). All sizes are still available.

Rapha are doing a jersey/cap/socks bundle which seemed very reasonable for £75.

I think it's cheaper as it's designed more as a souvenir for those who are doing the ride. My mate did it a couple of years back (Galibier & A d'H) and bought a jersey for about £60. When their normal range kicks off at £90 to £100 it did make think why it was so much cheaper...that and I think you'd feel a fraud wearing it if you hadn't ridden the event too.

I just purchased the EDDY polo in blue. Got in touch with them before, cause they didn't ship to Spain, but they've been really helpful and in less than a week added my country to the shipping destinations. They advised me on the sizing too. I'll comment here on the top when it arrives.

Went out for a ride yesterday with a mates cycling club. Nothing too serious just a 30 mile run out into the countryside with a stop at a village hall for freshly baked cakes from the local W.I
Anyway, as you do, I've pulled out 3 or 4 jerseys and matched the one I fancied with some socks etc etc...just like a night out but with lycra. Rock up and the meeting point where there are about 20 or so other riders chatting and drinking coffee. As a non member I have to sign a waiver thing re not racing etc etc and then I go into the café to grab a large espresso and a flapjack.
On walking out I hear shouts of who's going to be Hinault and who's going to be LeMond as a chap rolls in towards the group wearing the same jersey which was this one:

No shame in wearing the same shirt in cycling as it at shows others that you know your onions (no French pun intended). Companies like prendas provide us with great replica kit but they are not personal tailors , perhaps u need to shop vintage .
Although I must admit whenever I see that shirt I think buzzcocks......

A promise is a promise. Fresh from the courier, the Coureur polo ;D. First, here's the picture:
(http://imageshack.us/a/img689/1604/ks14.jpg)
The top is soft, quality cotton, no technical cloth here. Fit wise, shoulders are narrow and the sleeves shorter than your average polo but I wouldn't say it's a really slim fit, though it isn't by any means baggy. Look out, cause like other brands out there (I'm thinking Le Coq), it's far too long (for me anyway) and you could need to make alterations. In fact I'm going to take it in some inches but I'll keep the rear pocket.
-
Looks OK, but I'm not a fan of front pockets on cycling gear. Reminds me of a marsupial's pouch ;)

Good point, Steve, though I guess I'll never have to carry a kangaroo baby in my chest! :)

Like them, but they're too close to a santini wool top I own (tho' it's green with the white stripes). What I find tempting is their long sleeve tops.

They offered me free postage too using the code freejura on check-out. Thanks for the heads up mate.

You're welcome, Steve; in fact I think the top you've bought is smarter than the blue one, but I happen to own a very nice black Campagnolo already.

Edit: I just noticed that the shorts are made in Portugal and not in some sweatshop country.

Not convinced on that sorry CB, there seems to be something missing in my opinion.
-
know what you mean jonny - step away from the fact that it is JS (normally for me worn quite smartly) and would be worn casually with trainers or even as intended on an 80's steel steed on an Eroica event and you may see it in a different light - that label would have to go though. Looks completely wrong

It may well be Rapha quality and certainly has a Rapha kind of price but just not looking as good as a Rapha item. .

Thanks may pick one up.
I can also vouch for 'Torm' jerseys which are essentially a 'poor man's' Rapha, to almost the point of parody, but saying that I own a couple of their jerseys and they've not done me wrong at all yet.

Someone's actually done a side by side review of a Rapha jersey and a Torm jersey which was quite interesting.
http://chasingwheels.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/review-torm-vs-rapha-jerseys.html
Good post , Jonny . I have always thought that Rapha was good stuff but they tend to rip it with there pricing , which is a shame . I read an interview with the owner once , quite pompous really. .

I bought one of these from Prendas , not strictly a cycling jersey but the font looks like it has been embroidered by a machine . All round the shirt seems like great value for £20. It is made in Portugal and is 100% cotton. .

I like that Simon, I'd wear that on the bike

Talking about Prendas, they now offer for free this cute T-shirt if you buy any other item:

Seems Santini's sponsoring some Eroica branded races across Europe this spring/summer, so they've launched a L'Eroica collection. Some jerseys are nice, but none's under the 130 € mark, too much for my cycling attire budget...

The cost of cycling clobber , over the last 5yrs or so has got a bit silly , especially for some of the stuff that is just lycra .Then there are all the other fancy man-made fibres that they really want to charge you for , in fact , the want to charge you like a Gordon Highlander. .
I blame Wiggins , really. .
However , I suppose Santini are just charging John Smedley prices. .
-
These maillots are supposed to be wool, but you're right, prices are over the top. The classic italian brands (De Marchi, Santini, Bianchi...) are charging Smedley prices for any repro from their archives.

Yes they are Simon...
"A French company established in 1853 by Hiram Hutchinson in Langlée near Montargis, Hutchinson first made coated fabrics under the brand name, Aigle.
In 1890, Hutchinson started to produce bicycle tires. The company won its first competition with Léon Georget in 1909 thanks to the ‘Monofil’ tire. The biggest names in the world of cycling then bore the brand to the highest peaks, claiming victory of the Tour de France from one year to the next (Louis Bobet 1953, 1954 and 1955 –Anquetil 1957, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964).
Raymond Poulidor carried on the spirit of this golden era through the famous Mercier-Hutchinson partnership.
Today, it is the last French bicycle tire manufacturer to make its products in France.
Hutchinson continues to excel with the greatest road and MTB cyclists. In 2012, Hutchinson Tires, a partner of Team Europcar and FDJ-BigMat, won five stages of the Tour de France. As for MTB, in 2012, Hutchinson supplied the DH world champion, Morgane Charre.
Today, it is the last French bicycle tire manufacturer to make its products in France"
-
Ah yes , a potted history of Hutchison . .
I have used many different tyre manufacturers over the years but never Hutchison, as I mentioned. Firm believer in Conti's , maybe not cheap but the roll very well , even on SHABBOS! :D

Spanish high-street brand Mango have been the last to jump aboard the faux cycling clobber wagon, judge for yourselves. IMO, it's not the most interesting garment they're offering right now, there are some wool & cotton/wool jumpers cricket-style in their webstore that look better.

The logo puts me off too. Mango and Zara haven't used them until now, and I can't see the point of using a logo on a cheap brand,
-
Maybe not the more stylish clobber out there, but they come fairly cheap and look quality, in fact the jersey -shame about the chest logo-reminds me the basics of the FP Wiggo collection. The monkey jacket is only 70 pounds, so a decent option too. Oh, the brand is Reynolds and it seems to have an illustrious history in bikes' accessories' manufacturing. You can find them in the Oi Polloi webstore.

Nearly bought some Garneau myself - but then found a pair of SH Fizik R5 which had only been worn in the house (???) for £65 on eBay so snapped them up. They are truly superb. I'm a black shoed man myself - white socks in summer and darker colours for colder times
-
Yeah the Fizik ones I have seen are certainly light. My shoes are generally covered with overshoes in winter so no one sees the colour of them , keeps them clean too. . ;D
-
there is that - I'm not a fan of overshoes and tend to wear sealskinz socks in winter instead but that was with an old pair of diadora's - not been out in ages so may dig my endura overshoes out
-
I had my Endura overshoes on yesterday and my feet were toasty which is quite pleasant in that kind of windchill plus my shoes didn't need cleaned either. I'm not a huge fan of overshoes myself but I feel they are a neccessity this time of year. .

If you're in the market for something fairly "exclusive", this new De Marchi cycling top could do the trick. It's apparently the first legit version (100% merino wool) of the much copied Molteni top, just 100 items made. They even go with a Molteni's (the family's heir anyway) certificate. But for a price, of course: 220 €.

I think those shoes would be perfect for any one who wants to pose around in cycling shoes. The sole looks like it will be durable to walk around in and the upper has the look of a classic cycling shoe from yesteryear without any flimflam . .
-
I've seen this in the "His Knibs" site, so I guess someone here has spotted it too, but given it's a spanish (Barcelona based) brand, I'll do free PR for them :).
In fact, there are some cool footwear in their catalog. Add to that they manufacture in Spain, the reasonable prices and the fact you can personalize (to a certain extent) the shoes, and you've got a winner. Take a look:

Some cool old school cycling apparel to revive this thread. From a classic cycling brand too, and not that expensive (the one below is all-wool and pricier, but there are a couple made of a poly/wool mix that are more affordable):

More controversial, I guess, this couple collabs with Italian brand Camo, in merino wool too. Too many things going on there for me (that framed colourblock looks a bit weird), but a strong retro vibe nevertheless. As everything De Marchi, steep prices (300€):
