Brand QuizQuiz: which cycling brand are you?
Everyone's got an opinion on which cycling gear is the best. This one's too expensive. That one isn't up to the job. You could just buy a bin liner and cut some holes in it, etc and so on. But there's a world of cycling gear out there. Which should YOU choose?
Well, we're helpful souls here at road.cc, so we've put together this handy* quiz. Just answer the simple and not-at-all-leading questions and we'll match you up with one of ten popular cycling brands. What could be easier? We've made sure that we cater for everyone, from the bargain hunter through to the big spender. So take a couple of minutes out of your day to see what brand we recommend for you. Enjoy!
*OBVIOUS SATIRE DISCLAIMER: it's just a bit of fun, silly.
Dave is a founding father of road.cc, having previously worked on Cycling Plus and What Mountain Bike magazines back in the day. He also writes about e-bikes for our sister publication ebiketips. He's won three mountain bike bog snorkelling World Championships, and races at the back of the third cats.

You got: Castelli lol bout right
Vulpine - Remarkably accurate assessment.
Vulpine - Remarkably accurate assessment.
Vulpine! I'm more of a Rapha come Castelli kind of guy though.
Castelli for me, though in real life I own none. Pearl Izumi, Craft and Madison for value.
Craft mmm I tend to favour casteli
Craft : I actually have quite a bit of their stuff...
It says Altura but that's not right; it's mostly Lidl for me!
I laughed...
I laughed...
I laughed...
I got Vulpine... which is nice. I'm mostly kitted out with Rapha and Castelli but I do like their style
.
Ooh they've got a sale on
. Might have to pad out the winter wear wardrobe.
Craft, which is about right. Got a top of theirs which is good. Lots of similar stuff from other suppliers at SportPursuit.com for the image and cost conscious out there.
Can't bring myself to do lidl or Aldi but don't want to pay Rapha or Castelli prices although some good sale priced Castelli team kits (Garmin Sharp and Qhubeka) on the above site are tempting but that raises the replica kit issue. Can my riding support replica team kit? Maybe just the bib shorts although I am sure none of the team riders need the XL or XXL size.
Nice bit of fun
Got Craft, don't own any.
I 've got Twin Six and Foska jerseys, numerous and Giordana bibs and longs.
Craft for me. Forgive my ignorance, never heard of the brand
In reality I have lots of Specialized's top end clothing because I worked in a concept store, good crazy cheap staff deals and its nice kit
Since moving to a new job, I'm building up a nice selection of Santini SMS but for better weather, with the Spesh kit for murky weather
I got Castelli but my needs are a little more Specialized
Craft, but actually I'm LUSSO. Get some British gear behind this quiz!
More Buzzfeed like quizzes please!
I am saying 'be Castelli, be Castelli.' 'Ha!' I got Castelli.
The last four fullish priced items I have bought were Castelli, including the superb Sanremo. The very first kit I ever bought was Castelli ONCE 1999, Laurent Jalabert and all that.
I got ~Craft~ must be time to bin the Castelli!
I got dhb (Brit) others got Altura (sensible Brit), Endura. Nearly sure that Rapha and Vulpine got an honorary mention as well. Think that's a good collection of Brit clothing. Me. I prefer Tweed. A fun quiz though and tongue in cheek.
Dhb, although ironically I don't own any. Craft, Sportful, Specialized, Rogelli and Howies account for most of my kit.
dhb - spot on!
Craft, which is what my brother buys, he must be on to something
Castelli here, despite not owning a single item of their clothing...
I got Castelli yet my cycling kit is a mixture of Endura, Altura and Crane. I couldn't even afford Castelli
Craft. Does this mean I have to burn my howies and Vulpine kit?
Vulpine for me. Can't argue with the description of my buying habbits but my brand of choice is www.cervorosso.com
Any quiz that includes the question (paraphrasing) "would you spend £200 for a special tab on your arse?" makes me respond with: Publish more of these quizzes please.
I'm the first one so far to get Aldi
I've never been to Aldi, perhaps I should give it a go
I got dhb - which isn't far wrong, I actually own a pair of their bib shorts.
But I also wear Sports Direct £2 jerseys, Aldi and Vulpine.
Don't have any of the 'R' brand, yet
