Prices for cycle clothing IMO is sometimes too steep, at least for me. I have used this vender now three times with excellent results. I receive my order in under two weeks, shipping is free, and the quality is good-very good. Sizes run small, need to size up. Scam adviser gave this site a low rating, however I've had no problems so far.
Anyone know of other sites with low cost cycling clothing?

not the most fashionable, but for black stuff (shorts, bibs, tights) they're made very well and priced reasonably.

their stuff isn't ugly, it's just not as 'au courant' as the big names. great function for the $$.

lol. Excellent stuff, not really cheap though. Looked for the Foska 'Bones' jacket but maybe they've retired that one.... still no 'Old Potatoe' kit, but I can visualise you sporting this little number...

"Inexpensive cycling clothing." An oxymoron if every i saw one.
Unless your thinking cotton tees and shorts from GoodWill.

Not sure why cycling clothing that costs less and is of good quality is a oxymoron? I know some of their stuff is a little funky but there are some good deals on what I think are some nice designs and good quality.

Oxymoron because usually it doesn't breathe well, poor stitching, crappy zippers, etc. I suggest looking for sales, checking Competitive Cyclist/Back Country/Chainlove, Moosejaw, Sierra Trading Post, etc. I've bought some stuff on eBay, too.

What size are you? I got a lot of new kit for Christmas and have some jerseys I could move to you inexpensively (I don't think you want my old shorts).

I'm particular and pay attention to details like fabric, stitching, zippers, etc.
Like I said quality is not bad, comparable to lots of items I've bought from those you have mentioned, and surprisingly better than some.

All the delivery will be unavailable from 01/20/2014 - 02/10/2014 because of Chinese Spring Festival. During this period, you can place orders as usual and
enjoy an extra discount of $5 off $49.99, $15 off $99.99. The discount will be automatically applied on the shopping cart. Happy New Year 2014.

With the above at the top of their website, I am assuming these are Chinese direct marketed goods? Although some of it may be pretty nice, I will stick with my American-made stuff.

I've purchased a few things from:

Love2pedal.com

Quite inexpensive and for the money, I think it's good. I bought bibs and single color jerseys.

cheap for the quality and fully custom aspect

for inexpensive cycling gear, the best strategy is patience i think. lots of end-of-season sales in the fall at the popular spots.

also, if you get on the email blast of places that make custom kit like voler, sometimes they have sell-off sales of their try-on gear, and even custom stuff that went to production but didnt sell for whatever reason.

for example, this summer they sent out an email blast about their "grab bag" sale, the deal was you got to pick a size and they would send you three random jerseys in your size. it was really cheap, and fun, i wound up with a few fundraising jerseys that voler made on the cheap, and good quality.

my bottom line is it's better to wait for sales on the name brand stuff than buying knock-off stuff from china or wherever, as the fit and detail finish usually isnt good, nor is the durability, which is counter productive to saving money.

Lou makes good stuff and you can make it fully custom. He's old school with new materials. Highly recommended!
