  1. Afternoon,

    I already have a 2 piece suit but would now like to get hold of a 1 piece. I don't have the money to spend massive amounts and second hand would be fine, I've used ebay a couple of times with varying success. Someone mentioned that I should look out for 'seconds', suits that didn't make it through the quality control for aesthetic reasons, but I don't know where to look.

    Has anyone had any experience of picking up something this way, or know of any retailer/bike shows where I can get my hands on some.

    Many thanks.

  3. J&S but avoid framt tho,as unless its the older kit: ie minimal strech panels and absolutely none on the front. Found out to my detriment the lastest stuff is shite!

  18. Hmm its not been letting me post.

    Many thanks for all the posts, its given me a few starters. The BMF show at Peterborough was suggested to me and I'll pop along if I haven't found anything by then.

    Ideally I'm looking for some thing with a bit of red in, about 42-44 and £2-300.

  19. Would that be 42-44" chest, or Euro 42-44? 42-44 chest is somewhere around euro 56 (depends on manufacturer, Dainese seem to be a little bit smaller than others). If you are looking for euro 42-44, you might want to see what cast offs Dani Pedrosa has ;-)

    Bit of a tight arse myself, and found 2nd hand (un crashed) from a decent brand better than brand new from a shoite brand. But just my opinion.

  20. I've bought secondhand leathers before, and I agree with you Pete, a used set of quality leathers must be preferential to a crap new set.
