Where can I buy Retro team Jerseys ?

ugsparky

I used to own a Carrera Vagabond cycling jersey and I see that I can get a replica on-line. I was just wondering if some of the other past teams jerseys are still available. When we did the maracycle in the late 80's we all had different jerseys - I think the idea was to try and get a jersey that no - one else had. I also have a Histor Sigma jersey that fitted me then but alas looks like cling film on me now think it's a size 4.

I did try to get a Helvetia La Suisse from a relation in the UK but he couldn't get one in any of the cycle shops in London.

So just wondering could any of these team jerseys still be on sale:

PDM
Banesto
Peugeot Z
Systeme U
Kas Mavic
Fagor
Helvetia La Suisse
7-Eleven

I have it. The sizing is a bit on the small side, FWIW.

Is that the one with the paint brush and the crazy strokes of colour all over it? Beautiful piece of kit, they don't make them like they used to.

The very one - will post a pic

Yes I've seen Prendas ... there's also some usa/china site but they're probably cheap stuff copies. Bobshop in Germany has the Carrera so I'll start there. You have the Helvetia La Suisse jersey Lumen ? ... Ahh now I see ... the Kas jersey. The usa/china site has the bib shorts too ...

Nope. I prefer my retro gear to smell strongly of doping, and that team was apparently clean as a whistle.

What this one ?



Was never really a fan, but then again, it's not the jersey, it's how you wear it. And the above is a fine example of how you wear the hell out of it. I bet half of you don't even notice the star wars wallpaper.

Ha ha ... yes I agree - when I looked up wiki for some of the names I had forgotten I also looked at the team pages and almost all were defunct due to doping scandals - was it Sean Yates team Fagor who had to pull out of the tour when the whole lot of them were arrested on the team bus ? Can't remember exactly.

It's good to see the TdF back to it's original popularity after all the doping scandals - a lot of people became disenchanted with pro - cycling ... "sure they're all on drugs" ... I think and I hope it's getting cleaner now.

I only buy jerseys associated with doping! I have mercatone UNO from the 99 giro, gewiss ballon from flèche wallone 1995 and ONCE from the Eufunetes era. Can't get a genuine Festina 1998. Would love that for the collection. For the OP eBay is worth a look. Some Fagor and Banesto knocking around.
