    organising charity cycle through work, these lads coming in nice and cheap on the jerseys. By a lot. While I wouldn't mind giving the business to someone local, I'm on a very tight budget.

    Group that I'm involved with use them yearly for jersey for a charity cycle (order comes in at over 200 jerseys) and can't really fault them. Online kit design tool is decent, but you can also get someone to work with you on the design from their side too, and they're generally willing to adapt their preset designs a bit as necessary. They're very good and quick to come back at all points through the process too. Few weeks of a lead time (varies with time of year).

    The only thing that I would generally find fault with is that the jerseys we get don't necessarily have the same finishing touches as some more expensive kits, e.g. grippers on the back, etc. but for the budget I wouldn't expect that either, as price is key for us too!

    Can +1 what cython said. I have long sleeve, short sleeve and gillet from owayo.

    Have you checked out spin11 events jersey range? I got one at the great Dublin bike ride and the tour of Meath last year. Not sure of costs but given the cost of entry for the events they must be cheap!

    But FWIW, the fit and the feel on the owayo jersey is far superior. Better sized pockets too.

    cheers for quality comment.
    can get my SS Owayo jerseys almost 10 shekels cheaper.

    we used Spin11 for a cycle we organised last year, we also sold sponsorship to companies which covered the costs of the jersey, really good quality, found them very adaptable with colour/design etc, they even went so far to put the name of the event and date on it, cannot fault them, as with most things of this kind the greater number you require the better position you will have for getting a really competitive price for them (dont be afraid to mention that you are looking at other companies in regards to getting the jerseys done, as part of the event my company ran, my role was to sort accomodation, I grew very accustomed really quickly to letting hotels know I was dealing with 4 or 5 others to keep the price to the bare minimum for our needs)

    best of luck with the event.
