I found this kit that’s supposed to be new and is priced well.
I wouldn’t mind if it’s a replica (which it most likely is) as long as the quality is decent. If you have any experience with any of it, I’d love to hear it
I also noticed that it’s not a complete “kit” (it made up of a Castelli jersey and Rapha bib), but that woudn’t bother me either.

Hi
I work with Castelli. So i guess i would know a thing or two. Even though the jersey is before my time I would say it’s fake. The rubber at the bottom of the jersey holding everything in place doesn’t look like anything i’ve seen from other Castelli jerseys. Could be because it’s old, but you can see what it’s supposed to look like here: [https://cyclingmagazine.ca/spotlight/team-sky-reveal-2017-castelli-kit/](https://cyclingmagazine.ca/spotlight/team-sky-reveal-2017-castelli-kit/) on the last image. But there’s also something odd with the logo. The eyes look fairly big, but also the fact that the scorpion faces downwards. The scorpion is always facing upwards. There should also be Castelli branding on the sleaves which i cannot see. Can you find Castelli written anywhere on the jersey? I cannot say anything about the bibs sorry.

Fake :
U can see the collar on the jersey. With legit one, you’ll have a little label with brand and size.
on the bib : the little green label. U’ll never see this on real one.
U can ask to see chamois, fake ones can be seen immediatly (some things are write on it, real one don’t have anthing write).

Kit is always from the same manufacturer. My Ineos kit is all Castelli…jersey and bibs.
Also the only pro team Rapha makes kit for is EF Education.

Fake unfortunately, I’ve got this in white but a slightly different style. The bottom rubber part is all wrong
