Heading out now, grabbing some tucker then will be working my way up into hills for a bimble, will be meeting cinamon girl and knottie a bit later so I thought i'd try out my budget shorts..

Cut off cords complete with frays.

I expect them to get warm, but it's either that or waterproof ones, or *shudders* Lycra.

Anyone else totally un fashionable.

Well, the fact that you have commented about how un fashionable they are, obviously means you are fashion conscious

I rode the other day with great big flappy raceface DH shorts and a tight XC top. They were the only things clean so, what the hell.

Probably looked pretty silly, though.

Mountain Bikers are the vainest sports people on the planet.

You forget road cyclists.

I mean compared to road cyclists, actually. Roadies put their road kit on and ride, without the seemingly constant existential angst seen on here.

Ha, I've just got back from a couple of hours on my 'darkside' dressed like that, old scruffy baggies too.

It's about the riding not the clothing!

Apart from worrying about how smooth & good looking their legs are

I bet Mario didn't have to ask STW about should he wear it or not, or feel the need to tell STW when he had done; like I said, roadies put kit on and ride...

Leopard skin tights with Pink superman thong and pink bra, two maybe 3 laps of SITS 07.

There are pics out there, possibly in the wrong hands too.
