Silly commuting Jerseys

gtvlusso

Chapeau to Blondie and Sarajoy!

Well done, those jerseys could start nuclear war.......!

Points may be awarded for an action shot (i.e. some Lance Armstrong style cornering action, or simply lifting a beer!)

Anyway, thats 2 for the poll - for the record, I have not built up the courage yet......I think I may have to carb up the night before so that I can really take some scalps in a completely awful jersey (if you are gonna wear something like that, you'd better be good philosophy!)

Chapeau!

Or give them a seizure.

Biondie's is indeed hideous. Quite like Sara's though (considering mine that probably just makes my taste a bit dubious!). Sadly, this is not available in my size: http://www.primaleurope.com/p-1424-blac ... ersey.aspx

Liv, I love that jersey, can't wait to see it! I might see if I have any other horrors I can show off, though I don't want to split my vote!

How about this entry - I fear that the shorts and the shirt may be a little too co-ordinated (despite not being made for each other)
As worn on the Mendip ride a few weeks ago.

Linds, are you saying they raised your bike seat an inch from the height it was in Rob's photo? How do you even touch the ground now?

sarajoy

You know it's funny, I've never in several years been able to touch the ground from my saddle, unless one foot is still on a pedal and the bike is leaning at a rather drunk angle. I always come off the saddle when stopping, and have to have both feet on pedals before getting back on it.

Is that odd?

I'm going to have to see if I can take it in a bit - it's massive!

I reckon we need to have our own SCR jersey, something suitably hideous, but recognizable to all the rest of us.

My word, cyclingtopsuk really do have some quite special stock:

That is really quite special. I love Descente as a brand , I can only think that was the outcome after the Christmas party. Left over wrapping paper - check, Ivy the septegenarian tea lady's old "going out dress" - check............

It is rather special - can't work out which bit is the wrapping paper and which bit is Ivy's dress - can you elaborate please.

Also I was rather disturbed to see my top on the cyclingtopsuk page. I actually bought that top from a cycling shop about cough cough years ago :oops:

I just looked at the website. Aparrently, this is a "rare" jersey.

Presumably the odds of selling more than one were considered especially low.

Sorry Ivy's dress is the bit on the left or right next to the wrapping paper which is top left or on the right depending upon if you are looking at it from the front or wearing it. I hope that clears things up.

I have to say I was quite impressed with Sara and Blondies efforts until I saw this - what were the guys at cycling tops on when they came up with this - that takes bad taste to a different dimension - got to be a winner if we can get someone to wear it 8)

I have to say I am tempted. I did, however, just win this - I wasn't bidding against any of you guys, was I?

Look, someone has to tell you. You weren't bidding against anyone.

Then how come I paid £5.07!?

because you're a tasteless idiot with more money than sense and no friends because you spend all your time surfing ebay buying hideous tat, then posting on another site about the tat you just bought.

I honestly like this one! It wasn't a competition entry at all. I will wear it with pride.
