Not the most exciting news I grant you, but it makes you wonder how much Argyle will be present: http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/6373/Castelli-announces-partnership-with-Garmin-Cervelo-and-Slipstream-Sports.aspx

    Look forward to seeing this.

    IMO Castelli have made the best designs in the peleton such as Cervelo, Saunier Duval, ONCE etc etc.

    Slipstream Sports CEO Jonathan Vaughters assured Cyclingnews that the team's iconic argyle would remain, but would be less prominent in 2011

    Not a lot by the sounds of it............

    Hopefully Garmin will keep their own identity and not slowly turn into a Cervelo Test Team MK2
    Helmand Province is such a nice place.....

    Are there any images of the Cervelo frames in Garmin Transition colours yet?

    I snapped one of this years up in the end of season sales so as not to miss out... think it could be iconic.

    The image of Brad on the Ventoux, Millar on the Muur in Flanders and Ryder battling on the mountains of the Tour...

    I was looking for an F95 Team to use as a Winter hack, but have had no luck :(

    From what I hear it should be a good looking kit - more Cervelo than Garmin 8) Haven't seen it yet, but been told a few of the key design features by someone in the know!!

    Hmmm bit boring really... somehow manages to lose the Cervelo's coolness..

    They just glued some Garmin logos onto a sky jersey.

    At 130 euro also is taking the fookin p.ss.... Not surprised that the identity of Garmin is turning into a Cervelo Test Team MK2 which is a shame.....

    Eh? It's only a kit.
    It does like like a combo of Sky/Cervelo, but it's quite nice, I think.
    Not sure the choice of a jersey sets the benchmark on racing philosophy throughout the organisation, however?!
    Looks like the days of comedy jerseys (Mapei, Carrera, Festina, Z etc) are long gone - I blame Rapha...................

    you can buy it from the website without seeing the full kit just the pic as above. If you don't like it then you can send it back for a full refund. I don't think I need to see it that urgently but no doubt someone will.

    Im talking bout the steep prices, and you said my point about jerseys thats what I meant, I liked the jersey, it stood out!!!.......I just think that selling the jersey and not allowing the customer to see fully what he/she is buying isnt well good tbh....
