    My Bike shop decided to get some custom Jerseys made up and they were really nice so decided to get one. I just happened to be in the shop when they arrived so ended up modelling the red one!

    Cool looking jerseys.

    They are planning on doing limited runs of a different design each time maybe once or twice a year. The actual Jerseys themselves are also really nice along with the rest of the range.

    LeCol is the Brand. Owned by Yanto Barker of the ONE pro Cycling team.

    What did you get? This is a point of curiosity for me because, being a bald guy, keeping sweat out of my eyes is a serious pain. Especially on the trainer. I've tried all kinds of things with limited success. The current solution is to keep a stack of old-school '80s tennis-style Wilson headbands next to the trainer. I picked up a stack of them at Target and I just swap to a dry one mid-ride as required.

    They are cool jerseys... but the price I saw on the website was £120 each.

    £120 for a shirt! That's way, waaaay, beyond what I consider a reasonable price, though judging from the articles in the bike comics, I appear to be a throwback, given that £100+ shirts and leggings are frequently described as budget options

    I wandered into the Rapha shop in Shoreditch in London at the weekend - you'd need a 2nd mortgage to get a set of their riding clothes. Nice kit though!

    just collected a nice bright red Castelli Perfetto L/S jersey from the post-office.

    they've altered the sizing in the past couple of years - my original Mk1 Gabba from 4 years or so ago is a good size larger than the Perfetto - which is actually quite nice - as the Gabba was a little generous, and the perfetto is just tight enough to encourage me to step away from the mince pies this Christmas...

    Decided to give a power meter a try so a 4iiii Precision arrived today and is now fitted to my Roubaix. Hopefully give it a go tomorrow.
