I'm just getting back into cycling after a few years & all I have is a
pair of unlined knicks two sizes too small for me (hang the bay window
over the top!). I'm on a tight budget & would like to get some _cheap_
cycling clothes. I'm especially curious as to whether cheap synthetic
shirts made for other sporting & work applications can perform the same
"wicking" function as the fabulously expensive cycling shirts I see at
bike shops. By the way, how tight do shirts have to be to effectively
"wick"?

Giramondo's factory outlet in Fawkner is reasonably cheap, cash only - no
credit cards - last time I was there. I'd call first to see when they are
open etc.
