Re: Second hand club jersey preferably the black one
Can't help you on the black jersey but I do have an old Large normal short sleeve jersey. I can post it, if you don't mind covering postage.
Incidentally, if racing you have to wear the registered colours, otherwise British Cycling may have a fit of temper. That excludes black.
