Anyone tried a SPEXCEL jersey
I have read some good things about them, being a good value for the price.

A friend of mine is currently trying their stuff out (purchased from aliexpress). He seems to be keen on their jerseys but on the same breath he doesn't have much exposure to other brands. His only gripe was that the jerseys are cut shorter than what he's accustomed too.

My only real takeaway from him is the fit of the bib. It gives major camel toe/moose knuckle as that was the first thing he noticed, and to my displeasure sent me multiple photos showing this.

I wouldn't wear it if it was free. They should be sued by Rapha for being a-holes.

The $30 Spexcel bib shorts from Ali punch well above their weight on a bang for the buck basis, easily comparable to mid tier products from Pearl Izumi, Gonso, or Ultima.

Looks like a very, very thinly veiled copy of Rapha stuff. I mean jumping off the page. I am unapologetic about my dislike for knock-off fakery.

Yep several items do look like Rapha knock offs, I dont mind look a likes so much as MANY company products do look a like. I dont like when knock offs or look a likes also use the same name branding. Im glad these clearly say Spexcel on them.

Knockoff Rapha clothing sold on Alie express. What could possibly go wrong?

Yup, firmly in the 'no such thing as a free lunch' arena.

I actually bought some 'team' stuff from China and their sizing was incredible...meaning it was not even close..

none of the links work but I'm interested to see what 4 items you got for $100....I browsed through and saw decent looking hi viz jersey but looks like sizing would be a 'challenge' to get right........

For bargain wear I find Italian made Castelli available on ebay from eastern european people, picked up one on my ride today 25.00 total, beyond expectations.
