Cycling Tops

BBL

Anyone recommend any half decent looking jerseys (short-sleeve) that won't make me look like:

1. A reject from the Tour de France
2. A Power-Ranger

Using old dry-fit gym kit at the moment and whilst it does the job I would like some pockets to stash stuff.

I really like this however the bib shorts that match it are like hot pants so be warned.....

Evans had a range in recently with a big pic of a Marmite jar all over the front. Surprisingly they looked good.

They also do plain yellow, red & black tops with zips & pockets, long and short sleeved. Virtually any LBS that I've ever been in carries some clothing of that sort tho.

If by "power ranger", you mean "colourful and visible to car drivers" - i say go for it. Or look for the MuMu one.

Gore Bike Wear tops are pretty good quality- not the thin tea bag type material you get on some shirts. In my opinion worth paying a bit extra for.Plus their colourschemes are fairly conservative.

Can't get on with the Foska stuff at all (and I don't like Marmite!). I guess I'm just a difficuly *** to please.

Just get a late 1990's Belgian amateur team jersey (from Ebay) - obscure, looks good, does the job.

Agree - not bad at all.

Have ordered the Edinburgh Cycles one and fingers crossed the colour is as in the picture and not minging in real life

I must be a right peasant. Most of the tops I have bought are from Lidl or Aldi for £6 to £8ish. No problems with them either.

I'm not 100% if you are joking or not...

it's written on the front of the shirt
www.edinburghbicycle.com

I couldn't read it either Norfolkboy. 'tis a nice jersey though.

EDIT: Prefer the black one though...

Hi, today i had a comment made to me about my jersey by another cyclist on the road and its obviously something that im unaware of. The jersey is a t-Mobile jersey in Pink and White made by Adidas. any help??

the_hundredth_idiot

Solo? I like the retro style.

Cycling Plus had a nice retro looking one at www.spiuk.co.uk which was a bit cheaper than the Solo ones - but I'm darned if I can find the jersey on their website.

Might have a look at the Ground Effect ones.

fungus_the_muffin_man

What kind of comment?



On another note I bought the green number from Edinburgh cycles today

cbatten565

i didnt quite hear it because he spoke to me whilst going past, however i think he said something like "shame about the t-Mobile top"

Garz

He might have just been commenting on the shoddy network coverage!

fungus_the_muffin_man

F**king ignore the pr1ck.

you shoulda shouted back "shame about your wife last night"

When I read the thread title I thought it was a headline about a realisation you'd just had about cycling.

Mine arrived yesterday morning - looks good in real-life. Unfortuantely it need changing as there is a mark on it.
