They don’t have to though … mine looks moderately fancy but is really just a collection of used or discounted parts I scraped together over the last 20 years … I have two jerseys, both bought when they were on sale, one is probably 15 years old …
New shorts every once in a while because they wear out, the cheap ones work fine for me …

You don’t need that though, unless you compete in the Tour de France.
You don’t have to tell me – my main rider is a hybrid from 1998 that I bought on Craigslist for $50.
