One of the ones I snapped. I think in those days though it was due to power. Now unfortunately I think it's down to weight
You know the answer to that don't you...
I agree oldgit.
I might be called sad or whatever but my bike is White/red/black. I have white/red shoes, white/red/black helmet always wear black shorts and my jerseys are a collection of mainly red/white/black no with the Raleigh Pro Team one thrown in.
Looks nice IMHO 😉
I use a camelbak on road - doesn't get in the way, I jsut lengthen the straps a bit so it sits lower and there's more room for my shoulders.
Remember kids, it's the self imposed rules that are often the most oppressive, but oddly the most satisfying to break..............mmm'kay?
The kit du jour in Bristol at the moment its the [url= http://www.badtri.org/ ]BAD Tri Kit[/url] which is freely available in a local shop, I do wonder how many of the wearers are actually Triathletes.
back then when anyone half serious about riding would have been in a club
Thing is people nowadays (at least the younger ones) don't accept the whole stereotypical (but not really true for most clubs) club with hierarchy and informal rules on kit, how to ride, etc and as such, lots of new roadies don't feel welcome in joining so they ride on their own and just buy whatever kit the shops are selling - eg the pro stuff.
Is that good or bad? Well arguably it's good in that the crap, snobby clubs seem to be dying out as their riders get older and lots of clubs with a more contemporary and enlightened culture are around to take their place.
But who cares, KT - it's getting LOADs of people out on bikes... Quite a few new LVIS people have come from starting out (and continuing) with BADTri.

I wasn't condemning them, I actually like the look of the kit it's also fun chasing them along the A38.
I have just bought this:

But that's mostly because I'm between a fine collection of my previous club's kit and (hopefully) an LVIS jersey. 🙂
Well it's certainly the kind of faux-retro kit that a gentleman needs to wear to look the part/fit in in London, BD 😉

And another one gets winched in.. 😉
The solo models all look a bit erm - no I can't say.
I so nearly bought a Rapha one. But then I didn't. 🙂
I had "Motorola" written down the outside of both thighs in white on suntan where that rubbery writing on my "team issue" shorts had blocked the sun during a weeks cycling trip many summers ago.
I thought it looked quite fly...
(Yes I did have a matching stars and stripes jersey as well, and I was crap on a bike!)
I like to be incognito out on the roads / trails.... Bought this off my wee brother maybe 15 years ago?!

which is quite a departure from my usual understated rapha style. Should help me stand out on the commute without the flouro look.
I've also got one of these jerseys, except short sleeved. Never really worn it though..
