    Hi Guys,
    I may be starting road cycling soon so I am looking for good deals online which are a known brand. Is there any full kit like altura on eBay, Amazon or others? It needs to be pretty cheap. Max spending is 60 euro.

    Basically I would like the shorts to be tight fitting, have a good pad and also for the Jersey to be relatively tight.

    Thanks,
    MadDog1999

    A lot of the online shops have mid season sales at the moment and once the tour starts there will be more deals around

    I got the summer/winter bundle someone put up a few months ago. I really like the quality and they are comfortable.

    For shorts, Sportspursuit have had alright ones recently - I got pearl izumi ones for around €40. No idea what the last Aldi specials were like, but there was still a few knocking around when I was in one last week.

    I've a few shorts from aliexpress, but they can be hit and miss - ok for 50-60km but above that the padding is shown up a bit. Great for jerseys, but the shorts area I've come to realise is somewhere to spend money on!

    Those Aldi shorts are fine for rides up to about 3-4 hours, but I wore them for a 100k spin and was starting to chafe towards the end of the day. If the OP is just starting out (as I am) then they'd do fine, but I'm looking to invest in some better shorts now.
