I very nearly had one of those last week, got outbid at the last moment :evil: It's next on the list though, I love the Mondrian inspired design

I've still got and use the following, all with the mondrian styling:
Look winter hat
Look shoe bag

Threw out (never used anyway but I remember JeanFrancois Bernard being cool): Look headband

Ah, the eighties. Wouldn't mind one of the Reynolds tops either

For those annoying 'outbid at last moment' situations can I heartily recommend auctionsniper.com...

Still curious as to how the Norwegian police shirt ends up as a vintage cycling shirt.

For reference



You should get one of the helmets too.

Don't like helmets, but thanks!

No idea... I just liked the shirt and it's got pockets like a jersey. Also, I thought it was Danish.

If the logo is this



It's Norwegian but the language could be Danish too.

Huh, having searched both, turns out it is indeed Norwegian, I stand corrected!

A woman, on a bike, dressed in lycra AND it's a uniform, I'm in love! :shock:

I know, my girlfriend used to work at a Norwegian soap called Hotel Cæser (don't ask), there is a picture of her in their replica police uniform and welll.....


Gotta go find that picture....

Suddenly I really want a met cycle shirt, to even the balance. Anybody know where you could get something like that?

More Castelli stuff :roll:

King Donut

Catlike Kompact helmet. Ooo light

New computer. Ordered in white but quite disappointed to find the bracket etc is still in black. Why Cateye, why?

Actually, I now want some politi shorts... but may be done for 'impersonating a police officer'...

EDIT: A pair of heavily discounted Northwave Aerlite 3 shoes and a torque key...

Now, you said white shoes were impractical but that's now two pairs! 2, I tell you

@ITB what castelli stuff did you buy?
@Rich misread your post from before wrt vintage. My carrera top is from 1987. *It's Stephen Roche*

That's Black and White - I feel a theme coming on here

Gold star!

Yeah, Jon, I know... these are marginally better than the Mavic ones (which are already green on the heels) as at least a fair bit of the white near the ground is plastic-y and will wipe clean...

All the shoes I like are in stupid colours damn it!

The policeman takes his job seriously - he's shaved his legs. 8)

Where did you get those I NEED NEED NEED

@JonGinge

I'm glad you asked because I went a little bit crazy like a shark attack I kinda lost it, jacket, jersey, arm/leg warmers, hats, shoe covers, gloves and I think I accidentally bought the same jersey twice

Strangely I felt like lighting up after hit the button :shock:

Discount warning: may be dangerous too you bank account.

Sorry. Colours will never be mentioned again *hangs head*

How are those Avenirs? My commute boots are on their last legs, if you see what I mean, and the Avenirs are high on the list for when they do pop their clogs.

Never had the SS jersey but still have an original Reynolds windproof LS jersey. It's fairly beat up after a crash but it reminds me of when I started out. It also shows how far clothing has come on technically since the 80s

Someone describing 1996 as "vintage" makes me feel old.

As for old(er) jerseys, I'd like one of these. In fact, in Googling for an image, I've found a place that sells exactly that shirt, so I may well buy one. I'd also like one of these.

Thing is, I want the Z jersey partly because I recall Robert Millar riding in it, and the Cafe de Columbia one as I recall Luis Herrera riding in that. Both great climbers and TdF KotM winners; but somewhat ironically, I can't climb for toffee. It'd be almost as bad as me wearing a KotM polka-dot jersey. /o\

One of my most vivid (cycling-related) memories from that era was Fabio Parre being blocked from attacking on Alpe d'Huez by the crowds. Felt sorry for him coz he was in great form. Never liked the jersey, though (Kelme)
