That Farenese Vini strip is the bollocks.
As for bad suits can someone put up the pic of pip's wedding suit now that's a war crime
Wow! that is spectacularly awful!0 -

I remember reading a short thing somewhere that talked about how pro athletes usually look about 10 years older than they really are. Stress from pushing themselves to the limit all the time being the main culprit in age accelleration.ddraver wrote:He's got an extraordinarily craggy face for one so young has nt he...

On the subject of the actual subject here, I am pretty sure that Cav has never looked cooler than when wearing the World Champion jersey other than when he crossed the line first in the World Championship, white socks or black socks.
Have you ridden 100 miles in your rambling/rugby outfit or do you only ride 2 miles to work and back?
When doing decent rides I do actually wear in-offensive, moderately priced, plain cycling clothing, on the commute the gear described previously is fine and means I don't have to subject the office to bulges that they don't want to see.
Tell them they don't have to look.....
People like you make me laugh. You take immense pleasure in racing past some poor guy just because he's got a team kit on as some sort of cheap points scoring exercise. I bet "all the gear no idea" is your daily mantra. I note you wear Ireland Rugby Shorts, are you an ex international? Perhaps we should put you on the field in a game against pros watch you get smashed to bits so we can all point out "the literal waste of time" in your wearing the shorts.0 -

Then go out with sweet white shoes and, matching and classy bib-shorts and jersey some quality shades and a lightweight white helmet (with bike to match).
See which kit you go faster in. It matters that there are people around. See how your cycling changes style.
I overtake people everyday dressed like they are in Le Tour - they are not, they are riding to work in the rain with a £500 outfit on getting overtaken by a man in a Northface jacket and Ireland rugby shorts going twice their speed on a £500 bike
You're trying to make out you're not image conscious, but feel the need to mention you're preferred brand of overpriced hiking jacket???0 -

I know Cavs Nikes are custom made by 2 chaps, I don't think Nike make those shoes for general sale do they? Bit too plain for me any way...
Those Nikes look like the ones Armstrong used. They were selling them to the general public a couple years ago.
Yeah, but Nike never made them - afaik they just licensed their name to someone who made bike shoes.
Got a pair of the mtb ones sitting here for sale. Look just like those ones but with a spd sole and some tread. Great commuting shoes - just too narrow for me. (size 44 if anyone's interested).I'm left handed, if that matters.0 -

Is that really the problem? Isn't it that he's being pushed by a guy on a mountain bike! :shock:

I get that black socks are frowned upon, mismatched kit.
I've spent a few years riding now in a mix of cheapo kit and black shorts but my wardrobe is slowly improving.
I realise that simply by asking this question I will by default never be cool but god loves a tryer.
yep,
