Looks like they are filtering through now, they weren't all on them last year.

That lulu lemon kit looks great!

Not as good as Lizzie's national champs kit though. White shorts actually look good on women apparently!

The first one is lovely.

greasedscotsman

Part of a limited edition range along with re-issues of Eyeshades and Razorblades.

frenchfighter

Proper modern-retro fusion above - i'll give them that even if they aren't stylish.

greasedscotsman

Phinney seems to like 'em! 8)

frenchfighter

Lol, but he also likes pink trousers and other very dodgy things.

greasedscotsman

Oh dear, I think you have a point there. Worryingly I have a pair of the eyeshades. Although in my defence, I did buy them about 20 years ago...

They look ridiculous. Not as bad as Hesjedal's, though.

Legendary eyewear

Taylor Phinney is the first rider to make me feel old.

Good point. Now where did I put my pair again?

I expect to see a pic of you in them when it snows!

Couldn't see them on the Oakley site, have they only just been announced?

Isn't there snow forecast for Friday?

They were announced a while back, think they are available in February (but can't remember where I read it)...

Along with the M2.

Thanks

And yes quite possibly some snow, especially in Scotland I would imagine!

Maybe I should update my location, I'm not in Scotland. Or Scottish!

Looks a bit like a Look.



And what's going on with the chain? Needs a few more links.

Its a very sophisticated system, there is no F mech . You press a button on the bars and the chain rings teeth
retract at an angle and the chain slips on to the small ring.

The chain uses elsatotitanium and keeps itself at the right tension ,this can be controlled using the handle bar computer.


You also hold down the chain ring button to elevate the small chain ring across and up to return the chain on to the big ring,,,, its the most sophisticated system being tested right now.

No, the chain rings teeth retract at an angle.

That is awesome, I had to read it twice to convince myself that you were (brilliantly) taking the p1ss.

Don't care how many times we've argued on other threads, respect for this post!
