Ms. Klakow is a bit generous with her descriptions ... I'd be wary:

For example, on the following (outside the timeline) jersey:

http://ebay.com/<blah> lists as "> Chris Boardman's 1996 WR Cycling Jersey <" with the following description:

"You are bidding on the 1996 Chris Boardman World Record "gan"- Team Jersey.  On the 6th of September in 1996 Chris Boardman established a new one-hour world record at a whopping 56,375 kmh."

"The jersey is made by Lemond Sport. The sleeves are raglan-cut for more arm room and there are three pockets in the back."

1. All of Boardman's jerseys have the World Championship rainbow stripes on the sleeve. This one doesn't.

2. Boardman wore a skinsuit when setting his 1996 Hour record, not a jersey and shorts.

3. Boardman most certainly never wore a XXL jersey.

This is just a plain old ordinary everyday GAN team-replica jersey ... So why not say so???
