That ROCKS. He looks like a Grateful Dead float. That's an ST1300 motorcycle behind him by the way, just like mine, only an uglier color.
Pcad is available for UCI peloton escort duties. All I ask for in return is 20 minutes with the podium girls in the Rock Racing Team Bus.

LSD is completely legal in pro MTB racing of course. In fact, it's required for races in Northern CA and Oregon.

I just gave myself a belly laugh thinking what must be going through his head when he puts that thing on. I just wish he had the trucker hat on.

poor Tyler .. see what getting caught for doping gets ya ... a jokers outfit.
Cippolini must of had a hand in the design.
He's getting paid. I doubt he cares one way or the other.
That's hideous. He looks like Sir Lancelot.
I must be alone in thinking it is awesome.
Anything is better than Levi's embarresment.
And this is quite "Rock".
Beauty.

while i would prefer for the old school jersey to come back,
im hoping this should go without saying for everyone.

i guess i just like to think those peoples opinions dont exist. then again i have a bunch of tattoos and ride a bike with only one gear so who am i.
Yikes! :eek: :eek:
Sure, its red, white & blue, but it doesn't even look like its a shade of red or blue that's found on a flag?

How can you not like a jersey that says National Road Champ right on the sleeves?

Ouch! My eyes hurt!
Is the designer a 15 year old male meth user?

+2 on both.
I do wish there was a straight (red/white) line in Tyler's jersey somewhere, and maybe a white star in a blue area, perhaps a little USA flag on his shoulder. But it's a thousand times better than all the various hideous national jerseys various pros have worn in the last few years - how did black become a dominant color in a US jersey? This is for the US Pro as well as Worlds, not for the various Masters amateurs etc, because the few masters champions I've seen have stuck with the "old style" design.

Homer: Now, this next one's for the ladies.
How many times have you gals been late for a high-powered business meeting,
only to realize you're not wearing make-up?
Marge: That's every woman's nightmare.
Homer: That's why I invented this revolutionary make-up gun.
It's for the woman who only has four-fifths of a second to get ready.
Close your eyes, Marge.
[Homer fires the make-up gun, which appears to be a shotgun with some containers of liquid attached,
into Marge's face.
After the cloud of dust vanishes, she ends up with way too much on]
Homer: Now you're ready for a night on the town. [holds up a mirror]
Marge: [gasps] Homer! You've got it set on "*****".

Nobody, but NOBODY in pro cycling has a sense of style like that Rock Racing owner. Everything from their bikes to their kits to the team cars are too cool. I LIKE it.

that university of delaware helmet is awesome! :thumb:
My eyes bleeding after a century full of Solvangs, Amtraks, clubbsy wubbsy sheit, pink bikes/kits, Performance clearance specials (eastern euro '70's trash) and more.....
ROCK is getting it done. No one else with the cojones to make something new.

That kit is a bit over the top. Some of the stuff I'm OK with, but some of it is just over the top. As a clothing designer, that's probably when you know you're doing your job. I mean, we're talking about it, ya know?
I always kinda like Penn State's football uniforms. It just kinda says, "I'm here to fight."

after seeing some rock republic products in person, i'm somewhat perplexed at how he made his money? the stuff is overpriced, badly designed, and fugly, kind of like bianchi bikes i guess.
How does that differ from most of High Fashion b?

I woke up befuddled. Can someone point to something on the jersey that distinguishes it as a national championship jersey.

I like the kit. I think all the RR stuff is cool.
Michigan style:
Living in the past, but this happened when I was a Buff (this is not entirely OT because Tyler is a Buff alum too :D)...
