It hurts my eyes.

You shopping for Slipstream kits botto?

thread hijack in 3..2..1...



Picture I took last weekend of the locals, Black Sheep Cycles. The argyle pattern is on the side and front. Made me sort of think of Slipstream. Sort of.

Some new and some used. I lost out on a New riding jacket that I really wanted.

nope, was googling them to find their website, and this auction was the first hit.

i prefer last years kit.

and the bikes are ugly

Maybe if they'd have actually stuck with the winning design :rolleyes:

Argyle is for socks and golf sweaters.

My eyes are still burning.

Wow, yeah that's MUCH better.

I have pretty bad taste, so I like this kit.

What is that thing to the right of the jersey? A head wrap or something?

Twin Six FTW.

that's sarcasm, right?

Think I'll maintain my support by consuming burritos.

That's actually not that bad of a deal. Even if the shorts do suck, a jersey, gloves, socks, and head wrap for the 90 bucks isn't bad.

The odds of the chammy being horrible are super high though.

...ONE size these days....and I still LOOKED good though....which is of course the point.

sure you did.

nothing looks better than red blotches, caused by blood seeping through the white lycra, caused from the saddle sores.

Thermocol ftw!

Same as my Disco kit, and I got it on ebay too. It's a no-name brand pretty much.

The jerseys run very big (my kit is a size small and it's huge). The chamois in my shorts are a lot better compared to that picture though. I can also tell from the gloves it's the same kind of kit. Be careful with the velcro on those - if you like your gloves tight and you have small wrists and you go near your shorts, you'll cause pulls. The 'scratchy' part of the velcro is on the closure instead of the other side.

It's nice to have the designs at a lower price, but the quality sucks.
Probably a given though.

You're a knock-off...:rolleyes:

There was a bunch of 07 team issue stuff on Ebay this morning...Still a few things left. I picked up Thermal jacket and half finger gloves for $44 total!!

You're a knock-off...:rolleyes:

and you're a witless 50 year old. what's your point?

I just want to know where I can get that cool golfball dimpled pattern skinsuit!

I like the wording in the ad: Don=t ride your bike without this cycling kit!

wtf?

Perfect excuse for me to post a real Slipstream kit. :p

ANything is better then wearing white/light shorts and then doing Paris-Roubaix.

almost 50 years old, and you want to meet behind the playground after school. :rolleyes:

Grow up pops.

To fight or a race?

Poofter???

Okay so here I am, just cruising around and I see a couple of personal insults here already. Please refrain from this, okay? It really sucks to see a thread go downhill because of something like this.

That being said....

Anyway, I think it's funny how people have to jump on the bandwagon and ALREADY make the knock offs. I guess it's really a money maker out there. Kind of reminds me of those designer fake purses that sell for not that cheap and then break in a couple of weeks.
