Wow....and all I asked was flap up or flap down?!
To respond...and not to hijack the thread...I think the theory about riding clothes is somewhat on. I guess I like to wear good stuff for a couple of reasons...functionality and feeling good about beinga cyclist. I know I'll take the usual heat about this, but in part I wear what I wear because I want to fit in to the cycling community....be 'one of them' with the look. Remember, I do consider myself quite possibly the #2 poseur on BF....behind 55/Rad of course!
