Can someone find the Taobao/1688 official Lameda store?

Looking to see if it’s any cheaper vs going via Ali. I’m putting a haul together

I found a 1688 seller but I’m sure it’s not a Lameda store. I used to be able to do this easily but I stopped using these sites for a year

Bought two new jerseys which I can recommend.

C$39.53 | LA PASSIONE Cycling Jersey Short Sleeve Mtb Maillot Ciclismo Breathable Bike Jersey Quick Dry Racing Bike Shirt Bicycle Clothing

I bought the white & black colours (from a different store. That store closed, so not sure why.)
These jerseys are pretty good quality and I’d say just as good as my $70 CAD POC jersey. Nice thick non-slip pads, some pockets and the fit is spot on with EU sizing (size up for a looser fit, down for a tighter fit).The only dislike I’d have might be no non-slip pads on the sleeve, but these jerseys are more than adequate for everyday riding.

I’m 5’8 59 kg currently and EU XS is my go to - this jersey follows EU sizing as usual.

From that same store I have bought the LaPassione bibs and are excellent!!! Fit normal as per EU sizing and have a pretty good chammy. Also for the jersey, what you did not mention is how THIN it is. This is a see through HOT days summer jersey.

excellent feedback from my point of view for this bib kit

Yes, forgot to mention that. Also wanted to add that I like how simple their jerseys are. No weird logos or anything (cough, PASMAAP or whatever the hell that is). It's put me off buying some jerseys listed on here.

Hmm since the genuine La Passione went bust, I might try these instead. I have quite a lot of gear from the original brand and I love their stuff.

This is the result of one drop of water on various Aliexpress jerseys. I've been bothered by sweat stains on colors that are not very light or very dark.
Wondering if there's certain fabrics to look for, and honestly I'd prefer Aliex-stuff but if anyone knows other brands that have more sweat stain proof fabrics I'd appreciate it too.

This is especially a problem on a group ride or café ride starting in the colder morning, and I'm wearing a gilet. Then when the sun heats up the world and intensity ramps up, I'm just a wet mess under there looking like a piece of shit.

I loved Santic jersey for the feel of the fabric

Cycling involves sweating, it's not meant to be a fashion show. Being a wet mess on the bike looking like a POS is probably my favourite state on the bike, i'd embrace it
A base layer might help though, they cost less than 5 bucks and i like them now, been wearing them for ~6 months. Meant to be warmer when it's cold and cooler when it's hot, and i feel like it's indeed doing something. Such a garment will probably spread the sweat more. White fabric will also absorb less heat from the sun, and show sweat less than colours. Black will not really show sweat, but absorbs heat from the sun, so wearing dark / black in hot summer months can be a terrible idea. Performance falls off a cliff when we overheat, on top of feeling bad.

Hows this even a problem? lol

Last batch of winter stuff:
-Another very cheap rsantce thermal: 184cm 76kg recommended XL which felt too big, I bought a new one in L and it fits much better. Still love it, still crazy cheap https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006761702729.html
-Thinner base layer: Very versatile, I can see myself using it for summer too, but I've used it when I wasn't quite ready for just short sleeve jersey but too warm for windbreaker/thicker darevie base layer, around 12c. Still gives some warmth I think, worth it https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006062287648.html

First batch of summer stuff:
-Cheji bibs everyone here hyped: Great, perhaps a little better than my go-to darevies, but I expected a little more. The legs are very tight but fit is still great overall. I got size L https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008628165379.html
-Inbike long sleeve summer jersey: My tanlines have moved to my wrist. Color is darker than it seems from their pictures (white). Fit is impeccable. Keep in mind they use EU sizing, I bought M. Big fan. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008604466255.html
-West biking helmet: My point of reference is my Lazer Z1. A little warmer which was to be expected as it's got less ventilation, but it puts the lazer to shame in overall build quality (in appearance, I've obviously not crash tested it and have no intention to). Straps are great, ALL the padding is much faster to dry and much smoother, and the adjusting is in another league (perhaps says more about how shit adjusting is on lazer's proprietary dial...). As a bonus I think I look less mushroomy. I'm happy with it https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008292808534.html

Unrelated: passed a guy on a top of the line sram red SL8 wearing a darevie kit. Found it funny

You are fighting against something which is just very normal. Fabric colours appear darker if the fabrics are not dry.
If you don't want to have a visual effect visible from sweating... you need to wear only very dark colors. Black,  midnight blue.
But: if you wear very darkish stuff salt traces get visible much more pronounced. 
So.. chose what you want .. it's sports and sweating is just normal and a part of the game.

Here's a recommendation for body diverse ladies like me,
my recommendation for bibshorts is this Ykywbike: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006003183625.html
Points I like:
- Pad is comfortable for many hours on the saddle
- High waisted, so it holds the belly
- The leg length is enough to cover the calves, making it a good option to pair with long socks, and avoid the leg UV cover altogether.
- Mesh behind the knees and on the back, to help with heat dissipation
- Leg anti slip is the same quality I have on my other bib from Northwave (EU brand)

(If you're also a non-magazine model lady like me, please share your recommendations! <3)
