What Vickster said - I bought a set from China recently. (novelty rather than replica). The kit is well made and has survived a couple of medium rides and washes without any problems. The fit is slightly larger than the European fit. But - the pads aren't of the same quality. The pad in my kit is good for 30 miles but probably not for much more.

These guys sell some pretty decent stuff on ebay. Good quality shorts. http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/paddyproducts?_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2754

I've bought from the eBay seller "imestore" a couple of times and had good service and the product has been fine. The Lycra in the bib pants perished in about 6 months with an average of 3 washes per week, and the jersey is starting to lose its stretch after about 8 months. But last time I ordered they were offering free international postage and at only about 20 quid per item it seems like a decent deal to me.

I'd be most worried about the ruddy pads. Also check the speeling on the kit.

I bought a couple last year when I was starting out, not from ebay but one of the generic Chinese websites. Definitely better than the stuff from Sports Direct that was competing in price, but nowhere near as good as any of the DHB kit or other name branded stuff I've subsequently bought from Wiggle and Sport Pursuit. Given I was only using it for the commute it was fine, but you can probably get loads better for not very much more money.

The Ebay seller looksea123 has decent stuff, certainly the jerseys. I bought a jersey and my mate a couple of full kits, one of the zips was damaged so he contacted the seller who immediately sent out a complete replacement kit without question, so no need to worry about returns with him.
I bought a jersey from another Chinese seller and it was different material that started getting pulls in it straight away, so they're not all the same. I was suprised how good the stuff was from that looksea seller.
