This company is holding a contest according to their Instagram account to create your own kit every month. The one they showed was created by a 6 year old and one I would wear as its a dragon.

    I'd be interested. That's a great price for custom kit.

    I never looked at that Australian company's prices. $30 sounds very reasonable. Does it have to be bib shorts? I really don't understand the bid thing. That's just more stuff to have to peel off when a lady needs the toilet.

    That's a great price...if they go up to size "fat b*stard" I could be in.

    At that kind of price, I'm guessing its one of the online chinese copy shops, dye-printed designs onto base material (a bit like how they actually knock off all the various team-kit counterfeits tbh...) - none the worse for that if the actual base garment is cut/tailored well though, and certainly good enough for a 2 week event, or a summer season's riding (if my China-Castelli tops from last year are anything to go by...)

    Big thing is - what's the "designer" interface like - there's all sorts of them out there, I've had a play with a couple of them - including one I used a few years ago, around the first challenge, to design the "team shirts" and the winners shirt trophies...

    but the design interface was the most user-hostile bit of java i've worked with in a long time...

    last week I was playing around again, and found a slightly better one... www.owayo.co.uk - the designer is pretty brilliant, even in 3d so you can see how the logo's/lettering maps and wraps around the body... prices are a bit more expensive than $30 a set though... Abut £84 for a shirt (dropping to under £30 for 20+ units...) and £90-100 for the shorts (depending on materials/chamois) dropping to £36-46 for 20 units - pretty sure units can be mix/match in sizes

    the designs ARE a little less rudimentary than the ones above though...

    (couldn't resist dropping a "virtual dossard" on there, just to see what it looked like... )
