“What can I say - I ordered it, it came exactly as ordered, it fits, it's comfortable, it's nice to wear - all of a sudden I look like a professional cyclist !!! Thank you for stocking big sizes”
“As always easy ordering and quick shipping to NZ. Astro blue theme top is sharp, colour pallet even better in real life. Bib shorts always a solid performer. Keep it coming from an old FLABer!”
Thanks Andy, I'm really glad you love the design of the Astro and the bibs are serving you well. Thanks for following from FLAB. Always appreciated to get feedback so thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
“5 stars all the way. Service is amazing, super friendly extremely helpful over various mails. I'm not a tiny person and CWC made cycling inclusive for me, far too often scrolling through other sites looking for something that fits to be disappointed, it's all here, great gear, great sizes.”
“Top is 5 out of 5 perfect fit lovely print. Would buy again . Shorts not as nice or good as fat lad shorts ,missing the drawstring cord for waist. And just not as nice with no patern. Won't buy shorts again at price unless you alter colour choices and waistband design.”
Thanks so much for your feedback and I’m really pleased to hear you loved the top!
With the shorts, they were designed as a plain purple pair, so the colour and lack of pattern were shown in the photos before purchase. This was our first test run of a fully coloured short, made in a small batch using high-quality Italian Lycra the same quality and weight as the Fat Lad shorts.
The drawstring was also removed from our shorts some time ago, as it was causing more faff than function by coming out in the wash and being tricky to re-thread. The waistband is designed to stay put when the correct size is worn, so it really shouldn’t be needed.
This is still a young business, less than a year old, so I'm doing our best to bring people new options while keeping prices as fair as possible. We don’t yet have the huge range of choices that a long-established brand like FLAB had, but we’re getting there one pair of purple shorts at a time.
Of course, if the shorts are unworn and still have the tags attached, you’re welcome to return them.
Thanks again for taking the time to review noted, logged, and filed under “purple, but not jazzy enough.”
“Will definitely use again. After an initial misunderstanding, which was rectified promptly and efficiently Cycle Wear Central kept me informed at all stages of the delivery process”
