If you go to
www.aliexpress.com and do a search on cycling clothing you can buy Chinese knock offs for around $50 for jersey and bibs. I ordered one to experiment. Material and looks were very good. Very happy with the jersey, bibs fit a little weird. Not uncomfortable just cut very high in the front.
I picked up the Castelli bibs and bib knickerrs on Bonktown for $49 each. I was surprised at how nice they are. My only complaint is that the inseam on the bib shorts is a bit short and I have long legs. Otherwise I am very happy with both, especially at the price.
