Has anyone used http://www.castelli-cycling.net before? Seem really cheap, albeit a lot of the team kit is perhaps last years.

cheers
It is Chinese site. I have bought kit off Chines sellers and <innocent face> I suspect it is not genuine. But the cheap knock off stuff looks fine and works fine.

I suggest you check any team kit you're thinking of buying carefully against the team's official website pics before buying. The Garmin-Cervelo kit doesn't carry the Sharp branding and isn't close to the 2011 official design. Some of the Sky kit looks accurate and some is off – the green Sky logo was used only for the TdF in 2010 yet is offered as a 2011 kit.

Don't know what's going on at Probikekit, but there appears to be a major pricing error on Zipvit energy bar & gel boxes. ZV7 energy gel box of 24 for £1.12, ZV8 uncoated energy bars box of 20 for £0.97 and ridiculously low prices for other goods (a £2 handling carge per box seems to be added to the order 'though).

Have a look here

And the picture may be only representative. I bought a jersey from flea bay, it was really cheap so I wasn't too worried but one of the sponsor logos isn't in quite the right font. I am tempted to try a replica of the original orange and blue argyle Slipstream jersey as I haven't seen it anywhere else

I think someone at PBK.com will be getting their rear end kicked.

There is a handling charge on the PBK which bumps the price a bit, but still 20 recovery bars and 24 energy gels for £14.60 still a good deal.

Go on, tilt your head!
2.00 handling charge per box and £2.95 delivery. Ive ordered two boxes, we'll see what comes of it. Just don't post it on Hot UK Deals or we'll be screwed!

looking at the rrp someone as put the single unit price against the box price. don't be shocked if you get 2 sachets rather than 2 boxes:rolleyes:

Everything clearly shows boxed quantities in the item description - I carefully checked before placing my own order and the single bars have a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces. The worst they can do is cancel all the orders and provide refunds. If they do honour the order I should have enough for a good part of next year.

Also I'm not worried if it is short dated, I've not long ago finished a box of the coated strawberry ZV8 which had a best before date of March 2012 and they were fine.

Just got a random email saying I didn't complete my order, although I have paid for it.

Like someone said worst case they'll refund
