Just ride guys. And if you're buying Italian, go a size up......
Can't say I studiously went through each comment but the ones I had read (too many) led me to pick up on "all this rubbish" and a few too many people needlessly commenting on individuals taste.
Nothing wrong with proudly showing a little team allegiance especially after Froomes fantastic efforts yesterday.
Yesterday I saw an XXL full Sky pro kit panting up a gentle incline, and last year's Sky World Champ in a similar size doing a similar thing. I have nothing against people being out of shape - we've all got to start somewhere - but spending £430 in a slightly misguided attempt to look like Chris Froome marks you out as.... something.
Mind you I'm not one to talk. Yesterday it was so hot I tore the sleeves off an old jersey and looked like an abomination against cycling fashion. But hey, I kept a bit cooler.
That would be fab! Why not, awesome.
Seriously, I can't believe this thread has come back again. Whoops/bump.
Surely someone should ask Pierre Roland how much of a twat he felt wearing polka dot jersey, shorts, helmet and socks whilst being overtaken by half the peloton on his polka dot bike on Mont Ventoux. If he felt ok about it, then so should everyone else
THIS is why you only wear the yellow jersey if you are leading the TdF, otherwise you get something like this

People should just wear whatever they want, personally I'd rather be someone good in crap gear and a crap bike than the other way round.
none of the gear all of the idea! Ha Ha
also if you are actually crap you can blame the bike!
It's amazing how angry some people get about what to wear on a bike! I'm certainly with the "wear what you want" camp.
Personally, I have a stash of vintage cycling gear that I've bought over the years, some 20 years plus. Remember Tulip? Full kit and I still fit into it. That's what keeps me going. That and my love for actually cycling.
Necro!
Was searching for team bottles and people's opinions on them and found this thread. Very entertaining.
Anyone has team bottles on their bike?
