Those Z Peugeot jerseys aren't old, they are from when I started cycling

Something not quite right about this photo. Have a look at Millar's brake calipers!

Unfortunately, whenever people talk about Jan like that, I'm immediately transported to this blog entry.

Ha, when I first read that blog it made me love Jan twice as much.

"Q: Oh great and mighty Jan, who doth fill this vale of tears with fire and death with every stroke of your massive thighs, why do you ride such big gears. - Eli from Valencia
A. Because the cycling is pain. The cycling is soul crushing pain. The cycling is meant to make mothers weep, to make children scream, to crush the souls of the weak. The cycling is not spin class. Sure the Jan could ride a gear that is being the size of a tea cup, like Marinara Boy Basso, but the Jan is not here to dance. The Jan is here to reap. "

The Kennington Kaiser

Can't believe that no-one has suggested this. All time classic:

I think in the future the QS kit might be mentioned.

Not always the most 'wow' but they're always good quality, look good etc.

Always wanted one of these



...actually it was one of these I really wanted...the jersey was just to match it.





Oh and I'll be wasting some time on this blog I discovered while looking for motorola bike image

In my collection I've got a Z jersey and a Systeme U jersey in my collection



but always hankered after a jersey based on the paintings of Piet Mondrian

Prendas do replicas of most of the ones mentioned in this thread. Always liked the Reynolds jersey myself:

No, no, no, your all wrong, it's this...

I was bought one of these a year or so ago. Apparently it was only 99p, I can't for the life of me see why!!

I liked picto graphic jersey design so found Tonton Tapis visually better than many jerseys that leave one wondering-esp in pre internet days..what on god's earth this title sponsor did or sold to us. So Ton Ton Tapis made a lot of sense. Likewise my favourite for the same clarity and smartness

Also, you didn't need to guess too much re the Carrera Team..some years the jersey said carrera, some Carrera Jeans..but extra clue was denim top and denim look lycra shorts with denim back pocket images..so viewers/customers of the sport knew what brand was being sold. I read Liqiugas aims mostly at Italy's provinces so I guess is well known, needs no introduction..but for international market..surely picture of product or clue in name is needed

Ahh, thanks for that CASTORAMA classic!!

I did a tour in the Pyrenees with some guys and on the final day we all had to wear something comic.

He cut his beard into a handlebar moustache and wore the shorts for this kit.

It was a sight to behold.

Highly recommended, both for retro team kits and also for day to day cycling wear.

Every time I see this pic I always think 'good for him', the bloke might be carrying a few extra kilos but at least he's out on a bike, and clearly does ride a bit as he's got a tan. (And I'm jealous as he has the most iconic Colnago ever)

Another vote(s) for the Z and Peugeot jerseys.

This shirt seems pretty cool, lots of ventilation, and hyperventilation for male spectators
