I wanted to get a nice fitting jersey for being out riding. My issues finding one I liked came from a few problems. One I bought and "odd" brand of bike(Gary Fisher) so there is not really any Gary Fisher jerseys out there like there are made by Specialized or Cannondale..ect. Secondly I didn't really care for the "plain jane" looks that like the Pearl Izumi and such brands offer. And third, I didn't want to really go with a team replica jersey and look like a complete poser..lol.
I am always more of a stand apart person and into more modern styles. (tattoo's, piercings...ect)
Well I was browsing around on Ebay and came across one of their "sponsored sellers" at the bottom of the cycling good category. One of their jerseys caught my eye as being a lot different and more my style. The seller's store is here eBay Store - icrossroad: Long sleeve jerseys, Short sleeve jerseys, Best goods
So with a lot of the jerseys at my LBS's being in the $75-100 range I figured I didn't have much to lose on one of these Crossroad jerseys at $33(+ $10 s/h). They have a complete tailored sizing chart on their page and I busted out the tape and gave them all my dimensions.

The whole time the seller kept in good communication. Right off the bat upon ordering he sent me a message letting me know that he received my sizing info and will be sending it to the manufacturer and that would take about 2 days and then about 8-10 days to get to me from the manufacturer in China. He provided me with a tracking number and about 10 days later I got my Jersey.
Upon first opening my envelope I noticed how well it is nicely folded in a manufacturer labeled ziplock top airtight pouch. Not like a lot of Ebay [censored] that's just stuffed in a manila envelope or box.
I pull the jersey out and unfold it and look at the tags. One from Crossroads and one explaining the benefits of the Coolplus Fabric. I started looking over the design of the jersey itself. The material is just like all the $100 jerseys at my LBS, seems nice and breathable and fairly snag resistant. The seams are all nice and strong and tightly sewn. The elastic on the bottom and the rear pockets seems to be of good quality and has no sag. The graphics are done in a dye sublimated process so I know they will not bleed and are nice and bold. They all match up on the edges and across the front zipper.
So I try it on and it fits amazingly! WAY better than trying to find a happy medium between a L and XXL in the LBS. With them I was always finding the length to be too short and the chest just right or the shoulders being too narrow and everything else right...ect. This one has a true tailored fit to it!
Pardon the day off and lounging look but here it is..lol.

Overall I am very happy with this company/guy and will be ordering from them again!
