    not a great fan of Sagan's jersey, doesn't look that good for a national champion. Prefer the old one that i'm hoping to buy soon

    Most of them look like they're auditioning for a role in Swan Lake. White tights not a good look

    So is this the Pro Continental team then? Can't see Radioshack on it anywhere.

    You must have mis-read what i posted. They are two separate teams:

    Radioshack - Nissan (2012 name) > Pro Team
    Leopard - Trek Continental > Pro Continental team

    Leopard - Trek Continental is the feeder squad to the Radioshack sponsored Pro Team. Having previously been called Radioshack - Nissan wikipedia seems to suggest the Pro Team will be called Radioshak - Leopard for 2013 following Nissans withdrawal of sponsorship.

    But yes the picture you have there is the Pro Continental team strip. The Pro Tour team strip for 2013 is as i posted with Roulston winning the NZ national champs. No return to the original Leopard strip for the Pro Team :(

    No close ups of just the bike. This is the most interesting link I've seen:

    I think that this can fire oil pellets out the back and tazers out the front

    Oh right. Sort of good then that we won't have all the Le-O-pard nonsense, but bad that we have the Radioshack kit.

    Still think the new sky stuff looks great... apart from the horrendous blue overshoes -> everyone apart from Wiggo seems to have made the sensible choice of black ones?

    :lol: Thanks TailWindHome that cheered me up on a freezing cold Monday morning.

    You expect Wiggins to make the sensible choice when it comes to clothing. Really? :wink:

    Black shiny kit is disgusting.

    You think they have plastered SKY enough on these kits...

    I like the blue shoes:

    Off the bike Surbrad has his own style..on the bike his refusal to give up black socks - well, its a bit of a sock shocker. A socker, if you will.

    Background - guy in GB kit: his bike looks like it could be a new 'HOY' model. Similar colours on this seatpost:

    I know it's not Pro gear but it's gear and it's 2013 :wink: Tubes look kinda steel or titanium though, going by their size (in the Sky pic).

    Looks like the new Genesis Volare to me, Reynolds 953 steel. 2013 gear for the Madison Genesis team.

    You're right! Thought it would be odd for 'Hoy' to have a steel or titanium bike. From Genesis:

    So it is Pro gear.

    I've had hands on now and it looks good in the flesh. Well space age and slinky.

    Ekimike, the Cofidis TT bike above is Coppel's. I don't like his position but he is a very good TTer.

    that bike setup is never UCI legal.... wrists below elbows pointing down... :roll:

    If you re a dentist/poser/rapha fan etc (or can't get any other english cycling mags from the hipster fixie bike cafe in the hague). There is a good interview in Rouleur on this subject...
