Not carbon-related but definitely cheap: She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed junked some of my ludicrously expensive team kit by apparently drying it in a blast furnace. So, I have just pressed the button on some really, really genuine Castelli from AliExpress, from two separate shops (to see if they're all the same). £81 got me a thermal jersey and bibtights, two s/s jerseys, two bibshorts, a pair of armwarmers and a pair of lycra overshoes.
I've always maintained that most kit comes from the Far East and this stuff is probably from the same factories, well, I've put my money where my (XL) mouth is. If any of this stuff survives a few months of commuting, I'll be happy as the whole lot cost less than a pair of shorts.....
