Inexpensive Sleeveless Jerseys?

When I started riding in Miami, I got a couple Cannondale sleeveless jerseys through Nashbar because I wanted to avoid the tan line on the upper arms. After riding around for a few months and wondering why not a single other road cyclist I saw was riding without sleeves, I got some proper jerseys and embraced the tan lines. I had to face the fact that some gorgeous girl in a bikini is not going to stop me to tell me how nice my arms look in sleeveless, because I'm still a sweaty dude wearing spandex either way. It was around this time that I also went from triathlon shoes that I bought without realizing what they were to road shoes, and from dual purpose SPD pedals with platforms on the underside to Looks. It's all part of the learning process.

Even we are smart enough to go sleeveless nowadays. Get with the program. Chicks dig tan pipes.

That said, if your shoes are comfortable and working for you, I'd wait until you wear them out.

You trying to bate me son? Be careful what you insinuate. Next time your insult gets turned in to the higher ups...I've learned how it works here, having been banned 3x now. So kindly go bate someone else.....Actually I'm trying to report you now do to your non stop insults, but can't figure which button to hit! Can one of you MODS help direct me to the proper button?

Wear whatever you want when you are riding alone but have a little courtesy when riding in a group and please wear sleeves. The very important reason being that it helps reduce the spray of wind-blown sweat from your arm pits.

My bias came even way before I knew about cycling. I hate sleeveless shirts on dudes no matter what you're doing. It doesn't matter if you're riding a bike or going to the gym. No one wants to see your armpits, your armpit hair, your deodorant chunks, your under-arm stretch marks, your stupid tribal tattoos, or the nasty spaced-out hairs on your shoulder.
Just wear sleeves. Please.

I don't wear deodorant, so you're not going to see chunks under my pits. No underarm stretch marks or tattoos here, but I do have one long brown hair on one of my shoulders.

plain and simple...you don't wear sleeves when you're on a road bike. If you do, then you are a dill hole. No need to ask anymore real road cycling related questions since you don't seem to care about road cycling etiquette. If you were in any other sport and they hand mandatory jerseys, are you going to be the one arse that shows up in your own desired jersey simply out of comfort. If you want to wear sleeveless go ride with the tri guys. I'm not ashamed to be a roady snob.

are you trying to make me call you "daddy"? thats weird. i dont like that.
i have never "bated" a man before, and i have no idea what that even means...and i have no interest.
didn't you just "bate" after requesting a male member to expose some skin?
awkward. you really derped the hammer.
but i digress, sleeveless or sleeved will not make me peeved.
who cares?
