isn't bad form to wear team kit you don't actually race for
speaking of 00s kit design, search unattached rider

^^^ yes if hunt3r still posted here he would confirm
― cutty, Thursday, 10 June 2010 21:48 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't think that's a team or a club, looks like an independent design tbqh.

it IS an independent design!
― gbx, Thursday, 10 June 2010 21:54 (thirteen years ago) link
oh wait you meant Bernard. in that case: rad!
a quick google leads me to believe that it is an independent design from a graphic designer from LA who once sang Hotel California to authorities while perched illegally upon a tall portion of a sacred thai temple, but has since returned to the USA and taken up CX.
also, teams and clubs usually have sponsors plastered hither and thither across the jerseys, n00bz.

what is worse, wearing replica club kit or wearing nationals/maillot jaunt/maillot rose knock offs?

wearing bib shorts with no jersey, just a big gold chain and medallion.

so yeah it's just a graphic designer getting a run of some bespoke champ sys kit, here's the details:
Currently I am putting together a second run for folks - the first one has already sold out. I am taking pre-orders only, and expect the goods to come in around late july or early august. The cut off for all pre-orders will be June 27th. If you are interested let me know and I can add you to the order.
Here are the prices:
Short Sleeve Jersey $70Long Sleeve Jersey $80Long Sleeve Thermal Jersey (fleece lined) $110Wind Vest $70Bib Shorts $95Fleece Arm Warmers $35Lycra Arm Warmers $30andCaps $15
On the jerseys you have your choice of the "club fit" or the "race fit", the club fit being more standard and the race fit a bit more snuggy and a little shorter in length.
All the prices include shipping within the US. Shipping out of the country will be an additional charge.
With your order please include the address you would like your items shipped to.

Love my Twin Six jersey, but you can't wear it with a bag as it pills easily. Would very happily stock up on them if they were a bit cheaper (they're still nowhere near top end prices though).

yeah I'm holding out for a sale on alwaysriding but fear they'll go out of stock in my size before that happens

I get the feeling Alwaysriding is the kind of shop that doens't really "do" sales!

our kit for this year is diagonal stripes which honestly i'm not loving.
haven't touched polka dots since 2008 tbqh (i can't climb either).
i think mondrian style a la Look/La Vie Clair will be big in 2011.http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=look%20la%20vie%20claire

Sometimes it pays to be a very fat mantis. Popped in yesterday afternoon and while all the whippets and racing snakes were picking over the smaller sizes, I started wading through the large amounts of xxl gear. Fixed jacket, gilet, swift jersey, merino jersey and winter hat all for less than the rsp of the jacket....
― problem chimp (Porkpie), Saturday, 31 July 2010 06:57 (thirteen years ago) link
A sub-question to the main one - giordana or santini bib shorts? Both do fat mantis sizes, both about the same decent price. Shame there were no rapha cross ones left at sample sale, would have been perfect.
― problem chimp (Porkpie), Saturday, 31 July 2010 18:50 (thirteen years ago) link
aren't the shutt pro coolmax bibs reputedly the same quality as rapha?
― cozen, Saturday, 31 July 2010 18:57 (thirteen years ago) link
They are, but about 70 quid aren't they? The other 2 are 45 in The chain reaction sale
― problem chimp (Porkpie), Saturday, 31 July 2010 19:00 (thirteen years ago) link
ahhhhhhh
― cozen, Saturday, 31 July 2010 19:02 (thirteen years ago) link
I like the giordana kit I have very much, but I don't have shorts. Santini's are supposed to be okay? Maybe get both and send one back (I understand this is how girls shop)?
― Mark C, Sunday, 1 August 2010 18:25 (thirteen years ago) link
have ordered one of each, have also ordered some Santini tights for just 25 quid, shame they're bright red.... (all other colours were more)
― problem chimp (Porkpie), Sunday, 1 August 2010 21:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Sorry about the rogue apostrophe there. And I am very much looking forward to seeing you in red tights :)
