Probably because you're riding away from the Sock and Shoe police.

Not unless you've lost 10kg or your heads the size an apricot"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 said most. As I know you have physique that would give Froome a run for his money; I've seen the photo. Quite handy up a hill I know. But still; most; no problem - big ring or small.
As for Gweeds, the dickhead is on permablock so I don't have to read the vile that comes out his or her mouth.
As for any of the other people that want to poke fun, that's fine, maybe you can post a photo of you up so we can revel in your style.
Here is a Russian proverb for you:
When you meet a man, you judge him by his clothes.
When you leave, you judge him by his heartContador is the Greatest0 -

You are and the rest are welcome to post photos taken four years ago of yourselves in a room with bad light on a crappy phone?
Or you can admit to being some of those fat snobs?
Or you can understand that being judgmental, especially where it is simply provocative, is not smart?
Or you can sit back, enjoy the fun, and down another Tuborg? Contador is the Greatest0 -

Nah, let's not start calling people fat or whatever, really.0 -

Don't start a bit of needle and cry mum when it doesn't go your way.

Fwiw I'm totally with French on the black shoe issue.
Though curious to know what the solution is for rain rides. I basically have a black pair for sh!t weather.0 -
Socks that haven't seen a wash for 6 months, 27p shoes ... a Ribble?
Where did it all go wrong for Bikeradar's resident style expert?
If someone told me he owned an orange jacket I'd actually believe them!?Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it.0 -

Shoe covers if the weather is that bad your shoes will get permanently ruined.
I'm a white (well white/black) shoe and black sock guy ... White socks & shoes are just a bit too white.
Where do we atand on helmet and mitt colour?Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it.0 -
Black shoes for bad weather. Even with rain covers anything else will get ruined.
Mitt colour for me needs to match the main colour of the jersey being worn.
Helmets I generally go silver/grey/white which does with anything.Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0 -

For me, helmets should be a light colour and matching, so if in doubt, white ( to match your shoes & socks :P)
Black helmets - no.0 -

No, but we can. And it's p'iss poor reading.0 -
Fair enough. Apologies all round.Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0

I have both a black and a white helmet.
Wear white with black kit and black with white.
Mitts worn to match helmet.
Except on the badboy, always all black.Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it.0 -

^ I think OPQS need to change their sock manufacturer ... As Holm said to Levi 'they're Frenchfighter grey'.Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it.0

I'm not sure Holm is the best person to give advice on style - he couldnt even wear arm warmers properly!
Nowadays he looks like try hard aging hipster who lost the keys to his u-boat.
Proper style can't be summarised or given a formula - take Roger de Vlaeminck in this photo, in theory so much wrong, cap under the helmet, the shoes, the socks, arm warmers over the sleeves...but the man was one stylish motherf**ker!

My solution is not to ride. But then I don't have the same sort of flahute blood running through me as you do.Contador is the Greatest0 -
