Custom RoPa Cycling Aero Gravel Suit

[NB87]

Unfortunately, I don't have any detailed reports, as the suits arrived just in time for fall and the cold and wet season.

So unfortunately, I only have photos of myself (and I'm currently out of shape  ).

For comparison, I am 187 cm tall and weigh 77 kg when in shape. Size L will then fit very race fit. I could also wear XL without it wrinkling. My buddy is 175 cm tall and weighs just 62 kg and wears size M, which fits race fit as well.

If you are interested, I still have two left.

Thanks. That gives an idea. I'm in the market for designing a custom set for my own crew.

Very cool. I can recommend Daisy from Tarstone, but feel free to make your own choice. I've had many good contacts through Alibaba. I'm curious to see what you do and look forward to hearing your feedback.

is there a chance to order 1 full kit from Tarstone for testing quality, sizing and materials purposes?

[alfiomotrambo]

Yep you can order a samle test, think you need to cover only the shipping cost

[alfiomotrambo]

In case you or anyone else is interested. I also received some fabric samples. If you live in Germany (or the EU), I could send them to you.

Unfortunately, I'm a little out of shape, so it's very tight, but maybe it will help you. Wears Race Fit

Please do not share the photo outside of the forum, thank you!

Hi Robert - this has been really helpful, thank you! Have you had a chance to get out and about to give it a decent test yet?

Hi, so far, unfortunately, just once each for me and my teammate. I've also sent the suit to the Netherlands and once to Bavaria through the forum—maybe we'll get some feedback on those soon.

But we were both very satisfied. It has a race fit, and the materials are very thin (good for hot weather, but not my first choice right now with the changeable weather). The pad is super round and well-placed—all the pockets and the zipper work. My buddy had a 2L hydration bladder that fit very well—the only thing that needs some tweaking is managing the drinking tube—I didn't have a hydration bladder, so I used the back pockets to store two Sugarflasks. Overall, very satisfied.

Funny side note: Feedback from my buddy is that "putting it on" with a full hydration bladder isn't easy.

The first official race outing will be at the Hegau UCI Gravel Race; maybe one or two of you will see the suit in action.

Hi,
Heres the Bavarian guy that got the suit sent to.

I didnt race it yet in a gravel race, but for normal riding its pretty awesome. Im 183 75kg and the L Size works just fine with a nice race fit.
Because i liked the suit so much, i started customizing out own pure road race suits as well with Tarstone. As Patrick said communication is really easy, pricing super fair and once we've agreed to the final optics well order them as well.
Just one thing id like to mention is that im not the biggest fan of the leg sleeves. Initially they hold great but after a couple kf monthes they start to roll up and dont look so nice anymore. Didnt happen with the suit yet but with my other similiar AliExpress bibs.

LG
