Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I probably jumped on the bandwagon with not liking this kit, but the brown shorts are unfortunate IMHO

I actually like the jersey, but I agree the brown shorts should really go.

For starters, a very close shade to the one found on the jersey is "desert pink" and is used as camo. I have never seen day glo camo in use.

I'm fine with pink and the kit. It's "ironic" but tastefully done IMO. At what point does ironic turn into simply tacky? Go to Portland or Austin and find out.

I find it comical that the jersey has a tramp stamp...




I watched a lot of Bozo when I was a child...I'm not sure if this ugly or awesome:


Who wouldn't love to be on this team...ack:

Haha, it seems with today's road rage filled drivers, that it would be asking for trouble.

It truly is amazing what you can find by typing "bicycling jersey" into google image search. I could post to this thread for days.

I dunno if my tan is good enough to pull of somthing that backless right now. And that tramp stamp, totally last faux-marital cycle wear season.

Cipo gets either his own section or a special exemption.

Calling this "ugly" would be a bit extreme:

but, I don't like the colors of Garmin-Slipstream's old team kit.

I get it that the sponsors want a spot on your jersey for exposure (and to be honest these guys are always on the break too), but it's just way too damn much.
