This gave me a good few chuckles and I agree with the majority of what he is saying.

If being a fan of him makes me a Holmo, then so be it.0

Very good.
Off to buy white bartape!0 -
Ha, I like it. Disagree with him on a few points though - hate long socks, and there was one other rider who carried off a pony-tail: Soren Lilholt.It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.0

I like my cycling cap
It keeps the rain off my glasses.0 -

I wear a cap most rides, if I'm descending something dangerous, riding in a group or where I feel conditions warrant it, i'll combine it with a helmet. I think both look darn fetching.
Clear glasses, I'd ban those."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

I agree, clear glasses look terrible.0

Haha I deliberately bought grey socks to ride in the rain !
Matches my sliver/white shoes.

Yeah but let's face it. You just want to be Leif Hoste :P
And re clear glasses, I presume you have spent so much time idolising Ulrich that you've realised orange was the only way to go.

Don't like long socks, but then I've got little legs and rarely are they brown.
Short white socks, possibly with a small design.
Moser and Sarroni spelt the pinnacle of style IMO. I'm not quite there yet

I fear I'm not good looking enough to be Lief Hoste.
And in the main, it's Ulrich's Nutella recipe I idolise"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Saronni was chubbier than Jan at his most derided.
Ullrich, 2003, Bianchi, Campag, early Lightweight wheels... Style icon, surely?0 -
I think House in the last few years has perfected the look. He attacks as well so win win.
Really wish he would master shaving however.It's not so much about winning, I just hate losing.0 -

I like the look, It's those bloody helmets that spoil it.

Perhaps he shaves in the morning and the eleven O clock shadow comes in the afternoon.
Brian Holm for Style, well I never.

Ah Ok, immediate disqualification from having an opinion on anything ever then."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

The cycling cap, the white socks and black shoes combo. It's a no from me.0

All I do is offer some "Facts" that I hope may make people think of another point of view. Nothing Personal.

I think the answer is sweet FA0 -
The most stylish riders are those who just stay on the right side of tipping over into parody, they wear stuff that were most riders to wear it would look laughable (see most riders who go for full kom polka dots) but they manage to pull it off. Ulrich in that earlier pic, Cippolini much of the time etc.
House is wearing what I would call a safe choice, anyone can look OK in all black kit (not a fan of his black shoes though) but he doesn't exactly stand out does he. I know he is in team kit there but there is still scope to do something with his socks, cap, shoes combination - he needs to be more adventurous.

for man who likes to tell us he isn't short of means, those shoes are a disgrace. I'm blanking the socks totally.0 -
