    ^ I like the look other than the asymmetry - the sleeves and shorts bands should be the same each side.

    You know it's a funny shape when even waif like pros struggle - the guy on the mic is tugging on it already. No chance of it fitting regular people. I'm not a big fan of too much of a slope on the hem of a jersey.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    It's one of the worst kits I've ever seen.

    It really is.

    I would say it depends on your position on bike to be honest, for a pro it does make sense to avoid bunching at the front.

    I tend to buy my clothes based on how they look in the cafe though :lol:

    A decent race kit never looks great off the bike as it needs to fit when it's on the bike and it's a completely different position

    Pretty decent prices...1.4k to 3.3k gbp.

    I'm pretty shocked Trek used "Factory" on their jersey. They don't read pre race?? :roll:

    I think this is a good looking kit, but sadly yet another dark one.

    That IAM kit is reasonable but would be nicer if they made it a wider stripe.

  • Rider's name on back of the jersey is a nice touch

    "Capteur de puissance" - so much more panache than powermeter.

    Those new Bolle glasses are horrible! The old ones were't great either; they look too big on the face.

    I actually like that kit. The problem is just... it's another navy..

    Looking foward to the Tinkoff-Saxo one. They always make decent kit designs. Lots of yellow I reckon, which is good. Yellow is goooood.

    Too much yellow and they'd have to have a second kit for races where there is a yellow jersey


    Also:

    new Pinarello Bolides for Sky this year:

    and I like the blue Bont Vaypors:

    You can have quite a lot of yellow.

    I know ONCE used to change for the Tour, but I think that was out of choice rather than being forced to.

    I always think those wheels have got a bit much going on, I prefer a more plain wheel. The Sky ones that just say "Shimano" look the best in my opinion.
