    Definitely not ! Get some dirt spraying up from the rear wheel and it'll look like a giant skid mark, not good.

    Yep - but only for dry weather. Makes bronzed legs look the business.

    Unless you're Italian it's warm and sunny, you have a deep tan & ripped legs! Get decent ones with double layer / modesty pad on the front. The downside is following a rider wearing a pair in the rain as their spotty ar$e strains under near-transparent lycra!
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    I think, by even asking the question, you know the answer... :wink:

    I have a pair but only wore them a couple of times though before i relegated them to only for use under winter tights.

    i knew the reputation of white shorts so was a bit self conscious at first so did a few stretches to see if everything looked ok in the mirror it did, no visible arsecrack etc...looked fine

    got caught in the rain :( wet white shorts with a bit of silver on them leave absolutely nothing to the imagination. frankly i'm still scared by the experience of getting stuck at the lights as a bunch of 6th year high school girls crossed :(

    Also they wash down to grey unless you are v.careful.

    You don't have to follow, you could get up front and do some work!

    People who ware white bibs are usually the guys with bikes worth 10 grand and are absolutely useless riders!

    I've got a pair of DHB ones (with black modesty centre's), mostly white but black where it counts.

    You can try and follow me if you like (although my bike is not anywhere near £10k). 8)
    Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated!
