Where might you get cheap cycling clothes in Melbourne?
I'm just getting back into cycling after a few years & all I have is pair of unlined knicks two sizes too small for me (hang the bay windo 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 syntheti shirts made for other sporting & work applications can perform the sam "wicking" function as the fabulously expensive cycling shirts I see a bike shops. By the way, how tight do shirts have to be to effectivel "wick" I actually live in Daylesford, so Melbourne, Ballarat or Bendigo shop can all be accessed. Any other financially challenged cyclists ou there who can share their fashion secrets? Any tips that can save mone in the clothing area would be appreciated. : -- bubelrocks |

Netti always seem cheaper than the funky import brands. Cannibal second to them. You could always ride in a t-shirt like moi (stole those three characters from FD). Use knicks, etc. are an option - try ebay.com.au. hth hippy |

Most online bike shops are cheaper than their 'real' LBS equivalents fewer overheads -- Johnny O- Guess. |

I'd call first to see when they are open etc. http://www.giramondo.com.au/ Giramondo Sportswear Fctry 5 6 Leo St Fawkner VIC, 3060 Ph: (03) 9359 2155 |

They have there own brand of clothing that is very good value for money, and looks quite nice in Orange and Black. They also keep some euro brand team clothing at what seems to be much cheaper prices than most bike shops. Otherwise Ebay is OK, but be very careful as euro manufacturers seems to have some funky ideas on sizing their clothing, Sasha |
