The last couple of weeks, I have been trying to get a hold of a new jersey and bib-shorts as the only cycling clothes I have in the closet right now are from the 2010/2011 Saxo Bank line-up. Admittedly I have quite a bit of it, but it would be nice to mix things up at bit once in a while so I don’t look too much like a taller,fat version of Andy Schleck all the time.

Please note the similarities in style between Andy and I. Can YOU tell the difference?
So I have been trawling the web in search of something a little more subtle and have of course also looked at the high-end clothes from Rapha. But the cheapskate in me has rejected the really high pricetag (especially since much of my current cycling clothes has been free) so I have taken to Ebay – the mothership of all things cheap and second hand..
Or should I say supposedly cheap since most of the Rapha items on Ebay are being sold at up to 80% of the current retail price. 80%! for something used, sometimes not even in good shape anymore. It doesn’t matter if the lining has gone up, the lettering has started to crack or the size is a XXXXL – everything is flying off the shelves quicker that Alex Rasmussen can say: Whereabouts.
So I keep looking, hoping that one day I get lucky – getting myself that brand new Rapha Tourmalet jersey for $50. If not, I will just have to get myself on the Rapha Condor Sharp Team. Shouldn’t be too hard…
Alternative 2 could be to harden the f*** up and pay the retail price!
