Cameo trend in cycle wear?

Moonbiker

They look pretty but eeems abit foolish?

E.g this grey cameo:



seems designed to blend in with tarmac colours apart from logo?

On the other hand yellow hi vis is ugly.

The picture doesn't work, I can't see a jersey?

Do you mean camo? Because a cameo is something else.

I have that one - but obviously I only wear it for a short section on each commute.

Stuff that - you're going to die wearing that.

Wearing what?

cougie

Didn't saxo do that for their training kit ?

You can do camo designs with brighter colours but I'm not wanting to go unnoticed on the roads.

Codpiece is going to chafe.

It's going to minimise any risk of gliding past the people as they start to look and stare.

Where's the "on fire" emoji when you need it?

Chapeau!

Interestingly, nowadays the follow up single 'Candy' is heard more. Seems to trace back to this scene from the film 'The Best Man'

You put it on in a club in London, everyone starts line dancing.

Man goes into a bike shop...
"Excuse me. Do you have any of those camouflage cycling jerseys?"
Man behind counter replies...
"Yeah, loads, we just can't find any of them"

I particularly like the Ale Cameo kit - not a fan of the La Passione stuff, or the Castelli stuff above personally.

A set of arm warmers isn't it?

The codpieces in the new Rapha Summer 2018 collection look quite cool as well!

It's certainly one way of avoiding that feeling of being on display as you cross the office in Lycra.

I was expecting to see a little diamond embroidery broach on some bibs.

Bar tape even:



Wont be long before bikes come in full camo paint. May even have happened but I haven't seen any yet.

There, quite a good match for the bar tape if you've already bought some.

I did think when I saw it, what Arctic convoy camouflage look where they going for, its called "dazzle" isnt it,designed to make it difficult to estimate the targets range & speed...yeah just what you want to wear on a bike in winter.

its weird because I kind of like the way the dark grey bits, its just the pattern,very misguided

I think he means cameo cos it’s so fu@k ugly it’ll only make one appearance

I saw a fella on my estate the other evening on a flat bar, no helmet, no lights, dark trousers and a camo jacket. Utter cretin.

Maybe he was special forces?
