“I love the fact that there is an inclusive cycling clothing brand, and the quality of the gear is fantastic. I don't feel like a busted sausage in these! Customer service as also great.”
“Great shirts! Always get nice compliments on them, and the fit is just right. Would love to see FLAB make bib shorts for the short-legged, stocky guys, but we can't have everything.”
“Extremely helpful on the phone enabling me to make my purchase. It arrived in good time and I ordered two items the same for fit, I returned the wrong size and exchanged it for the required size which also came swiftly.
Polite, helpful, speedy delivery, what more can a customer ask for. Will definitely use again in the future. Many thanks.”
“both ,myself and my son (a large lad) both wear FLAB tops and jackets. Even after 4 days of strenuous cycle camping, my jacket still didn't smell after all the climbing”
“Great quality and sizes to fit pretty much all shapes. Reasonable prices. Since any kit not already ex-stock is make custom to order, there can be a lead time.”
“At last, I've found some cycling jerseys that actually fit. Now you don't have to be a stick insect to cycle, or look like a badly filled sausage. I'm not the biggest fan of their designs and, like all cycling clothes outlets, they are not cheap. Nor do they offer free delivery on orders over £50 like many outlets do, but they still deserve the support of every large person who is fed up with only finding clothes made for small, thin Italians.”
“The clobber is always great & arrives on time also more importantly it fits . My only negative is that I’ve been trying to purchase a pair of the mountain bike shorts but they seem to be stock at the moment”
“Only bought one winter weight jersey for a woman. Lovely quality fabric & pattern, even if expensive. But given the insignia of 'Fat Lass at the Back', I was genuinely assuming that there had been thought given to the shape and sizing for plus sized gals of all heights. This wasn't the case - so got a size (14) fit based on bust measurements as recommended and the sleeves and torso length were standard (or even longer). Both sleeves & torso were a foot too long. Didn't return as I live in Aust. Time to take the notion of a 'petite' sizing seriously for a wide range of styles (not just one token one). It would be a global winner. I know I'm not the only one looking for real petite sizings of style. You could be the leader of this movement. If you add to this using recycled polyester, you definitely would be.”
“Food stops had very limited choice & timing chips never worked. When I queried this after the event I was told someone would get back to me but no one ever did. I wouldn’t do the event again”
Hi Simon
Sorry about the issues with the Sportive - we are well aware how disappointed you were and where we failed.
We did email all participants explaining that we had been badly let down by the caterer and that the excessive rainfall and resulting flooding at event HQ had broken the timing system, leaving some people without a time.
We haven't yet launched the 2020 event but will be offering all people affected a discount on this years event. Again apologies for the issues.
