You will probably be aware that I'm a bit of a Team GB cycling fan and a one with a little more money than sense.. or so I'm told! This means - you'll also have seen - that I enjoy wearing the team colours, see
Tour of Britain and
No Legs. Since purchasing my long sleeved jersey back in September, I've been on the lookout for a short sleeved version but most suppliers are either reporting this to be discontinued or are charging exorbitant marked up prices.
So when I spotted on eBay, not only the genuine article but one marked up with "This is not a reproduction item. This jersey was made for british cycling and issued to a British cycling team member", I had to place a bid. Yes, I won it, just confirming my 'more money than sense' comment.
I've since found out that this was issued to
Luke Rowe to ride in the fated
world road race in Florence this year. I now think this will fit better in a frame hung on my wall rather on me!
