Do you hate looking like a roadie?
 

For those folks that hate wearing expensive cycle shorts or looking like a roadie:

Mama's little hipster

The possibility of one day being able to afford sexiho3 jeans is what keeps me going and makes each day worth living.

More gear that doesn't look like gear would be welcome. I do everything possible to cover up my cycle gear. Hate that stuff. makes me feel like a complete geek. :/

edited to add... GOOD GRIEF! I read the article but didn't see the price first time around. For that amount of money, I'll go out looking like a complete geek!

My Gosh ...

I don't like looking like a roadie (I mean, why look like a cycist if you're going to be in lab and class all day, sheesh) but that is just over the top. I prefer wearing tights under a skirt--it's more comfortable and cuter. Besides, there are other pants aside from jeans that you can wear on the bike, so why buy overpriced jeans?

That said, it IS a great idea, just wish it wasn't so expensive.

$360 for a pair of jeans. Even a roadie wouldn't pay that.

I wonder if they would last longer than 36 pairs of jeans ($10ea) from the thrift store? Although, certainly they would be more comfortable.

Kidding right?
$3 wool trousers from goodwill: lined and breathable, disposable in a pinch, hackable to knickers..no muss no fuss NO STINK! (if left long you could even wear them at work, is that not a goal of a commuter?)
and best of all ... $3
Still they aren't a kilt, but it IS 32 deg here

That price is something else. Crappy looking gear for assos prices.
Anyhow, don't mind me. I am a roadie.

I tried that, but the other guys laughed and called me names! :cry:

Yikes, $360! Is that Yen???

For that money I'd rather look like a roadie...

Zoic baggies with liner, a white cotton tee and Cannondale road shoes is as roadie as I get, though I think I understand the roadie shorts, not only do they yield less drag, but they don't hang up on the saddle when mounting or dismounting the bike like my baggies do sometimes. I like all my pockets tho...

Wear what you want, I could care less and I suspect most people feel about the same.

"Sexy Ho Three" is a great product name, though. I wonder if Sexy Ho One and Sexy Ho Two never got off the design board.

• Crotch cross-stitch moved 1" forward to delay crotch blow-outs and for the comfort of the rider

Why on earth would I want to delay crotch blow-outs?

I don't look like a roadie. I look like a member of the X-Men. :-P

Sanforized. Good.
360 dollars. Bad.
21 oz. denim. Never in a subtropical climate.

I only ordered four pair; I don't get to ride on wednesdays.

Yo, teh wimmins like the delay... ok?

Fred Sanforize?

Dummy, you paid what for what!!!!????

Oh, this is the big one! You hear that, Elizabeth?! I'm coming to join you, honey!

Suddenly Outlier's prices look almost reasonable.

What's wrong with looking like a roadie? Some of us dress as commuters on weekdays and roadies on weekends. It's all good.

...almost

Ahhh, I don't mind looking like a roadie...they all think I'm a Fred anyway 'cause I've got lighting, rack, bags, etc and my bike weighs significantly more than a puff of methane. Then on Saturday when I'm pulling a 20% grade in 52x26(on my '85 SR300) w/o standing my Fredliness seems to disappear...as do the carbon framed wannabe Lances. It all has a tendency to even out, y'know? Spandex/lycra has their place and time used properly. Denim is for s**t beyond 5 blocks unless one thinks hipness is next to godliness...then there's no reasoning w/them. Heaven help the tragically hip. :eek:

Do those jeans come with a white belt by chance?

Carhart pants cost about $40.00...
