Rock Racing Kit

[Groupetto]

I knew that they would start selling Rock racing Kits this year and I was wondering the cost. I figure if the jeans are $300 - $400 , how much for the kits.

I just read that the bibs will $220 and $180 for a jersey.

Yikes !!..although that green skull is pretty darn cool.

[Terror_in_pink]

rip off.

i'd rather spend half that amount on a cool vintage jersey.

You're speaking my language.

[Groupetto]

of course I am sure someone will get all of the colors...

:roflmao: I am sure people will buy it. Personally I rather spent my money on something more useful. Like saving it for a Force group. :D

$400 for the only team kit that frames your junk more blatantly than the Liquid Fitness kit? No thanks.

the kit might be a rip, but i can't deny the appeal of those boys!

Their kit is a little over the top for my tastes, but I really dug the green DeRosas they were riding at the ToC. :)

The tour of california Rock Racing kit would look out of place without the shoe covers, lime green bike and the cadillac following.
At the Dash 4 Cash race today, there was somebody in a Rock Racing kit (I assume on the team). It was white with the black skull logo. It looked nice.

Then I'll have to save and beg to find the arm warmers, leg warmers, shoe covers and helmet.
'Cause if I look like I'm on the team, don'cha think I'll go faster? :rolleyes: Like when I got my new Keds? I know I was faster!! :D

I see men in green with impressive cod pieces...which is great. I recommend that all men wear this kit. Well, okay, you can pretty much just wear the bib/shorts and whatever jersey you want which would be your own unique style and you'd save $180 bucks.

Other than that...those kits are butt ugly. :D

Or save even more money buy buying one of these on eBay for $50.

Why you laughing? I second your suggestion. :p

They didn't show how much for the official team cod piece... not that I'd need one. :D

wouldn't be caught dead in that RR kit.

Afraid the bibs would be a little baggy in the front, huh? :p:D

[awiner]

I really like the red/black RR kit.

How or why does this get sold on Ebay. Does this mean it is used ?

Does it come in carbon fiber ?

Yes!

The blue's not too bad, either...

I like their black and neon green kit. I didn't really realize they're skeleton-style until someone mentioned it on the road forum... most of the pics I've seen earlier were side views.

To me they don't seem as loud as ones with many sponsor logos. Actually, it may have many sponsor logos, but they're kind of subtle in black/white compared to neon green.

I like the color scheme in the same way I like the Cannondale Liquidgas bike color scheme. :D

[merider1]

Yes!

I like the kit and the men in it.

You ask the wrong question. Why should anything NOT get sold on eBay?

I didn't see a CF one though. Perhaps if we did a Pedal Force-style group buy we could get one of the Taiwanese carbon fiber fabricators to make us some.

If they're going to charge that much for their kit I hope it's being made by Assos and not Rock and Republic.

I bought the Black with white jersey and bibs last month for $160 total.....why are people saying they are going to be so spendy "when they are available" ? They have been available for a while at the price I got mine for....

Actually I am just passing on the info that I read (which is risky I know) I know alot of people wanted a jersey last year . I think the web store isnt open yet for the 2008 kit.

Sorry Groupetto, I wasn't aiming that comment at you, I've heard a lot of peeps say the same thing...sometimes my posts don't actually come out the way I meant them to...:o

hope we're still Friends :)

[Luwin1026]

I just ordered their red/black jersey as I think it looks cool.

[bbp]

Who's selling the old kit?

Hows the quality of the kit?

no worries. You were simply passing on the info. I guess if the BF'er want to sell a few jerseys they should have a skull on the front !!.

Now Michael Ball has to make money somehow. When his team was in Solvang for the TT he donated $10,000.00 to the under privileged kids that live in Solvang. Now are those the ones that don’t have Lexus’.

[DScott]

Funny, I saw two guys in this kit yesterday, on the bike path down by the power plant in Manhatten Beach. The tempo was 'piano'. Must have been a recovery day.

Michael Ball is definitely not in the Pro Cycling business to make money. He only has to sell 30 pairs of jeans to make 10k...

I think he started the team just so he could get a front row seat to the action.

Once again...who...is...selling...the...kit....?

That's what the bike path is for - recovery. :)

Only Fred's race on the bike path. :rolleyes:

I see RR there almost everyday. The last few weeks Ball has been riding in the front - no helmet of course... :rolleyes:

I lolly-gag on the bike path on my way to/from work.. Fred takes me out everytime. :D

I'm a walking RR advertisement (swag from the g/f), don't be a stranger if you happen to cross paths with a tall guy on a flat-black hybrid taking pics on the beach!

[RoadToad]

I'd wear 'em all!

[Blastinbob]

Someone from Rock Racing has become a regular poster on the Serotta board screen name "BIG DADDY". His signature was " I am Rock racing" before admin's made this person remove it. He may be able to answer questions about team kits and availability for those interested.

"Big Daddy" is Michael Ball's cool bike racing name.

Those guys are around here alot. I (literally) almost ran into this guy on the bike path in Manhatten Beach:

He laughed. ;)

If you wear this kit, not only do you have to deal with the pro cyclist vibe, but you better be just really cool in general. Too much pressure for me. I'll just stick to almost running into famous people...

You realize that you bought the kit that they give to their junior's riders, or U23 team at least.

[Jaguar27]

Yes, I wanted the black/white, our Daughter got it for me, she works for R&R, She got me 4 more kits of which 3 I gave to Friends, I also have the Td CA Green/black one but I've only worn it once...anyone want it?

[Jaguar27]

Who's selling the old kit?

Hows the quality of the kit?

The quality is as good as any of the best I've worn, the bibs are really comfy and the whole kit dries 15 minutes after you take it out of the wash...

I've seen some of the new apparel and it's nice, I can't reveal the Price though

if it such a burden i'll take it off your hands
