Ebay cycling wear. Anygood?
Seller is based in HongKong, so there is the possibility that they are selling stuff made in the same factory as the real stuff is made.
There prices are cheap and the padding looks well made.
Has anyone bought from them?
Or anyone think they will ok?

as previously posted, i've tried that stuff. the thread in the seams of the clothing comes out, and the gel gloves are crap, the gel pads fall out after only a couple of rides. I only look for stuff on eBay from US sellers now. Dan at Love2Pedal (who is a member here) has great stuff as very reasonable prices. Try his store and auctions.

I can recommend a seller on ebay that I've bought from that sells top rank stuff at reasonable prices (if you consider primal wear top rank, which I do)
love2pedal.com is his store on ebay and he's a good guy. I think he even posts on these very forums under the same user name.
Reasonable prices, fast shipping, cool gear.
edit:
I just looked up a proper castelli bib short on coloradocyclist.com, and the stuff on ebay is so clearly knockoff fake stuff that I betcha it'll do the same thing as the other ebay clothing thread stuff did.
for reference, what a proper castelli chamois looks like, and what a real kit costs Proper
