Too late in the season to pose?
I'm thinking about getting this..
But in Canada - my season's got about two months left..
It's the only kit worth getting - as I've already got the Atmos in that color
What do you think?
Thanks guys,
-Peter

Normally I am anti-OCP but that kit looks pretty nice. Love the colors.

I bought lots of Agu Sport gear when I was racing in Holland (not Rabo team issue, though )
Top shelf kit. Great quality.

It's okay for a race, I suppose. But there is this guy who frequently goes full dress kit up and down Huntington Drive at rush hour. You can't get more rush hour traffic on a road than this one. Many of the drivers trying to get home couldn't be more frustrated and angry. But adding to all of this is some guy in a pink or lilac lycra every day with a really pointy helmet making the traffic mess worse on Huntington, even though there are alternative, much less heavily travelled roads nearby. Sometimes, I wish dressy roadies would stop antagonizing the already aggravated rush hour drivers. I know that is not what you are going to do, but sometimes I wish for a little less flash among fellow roadies in everyday clothing. I know the value of color in safety, but a plain yellow jersey would do that trick.

You can't race in that unless your last name is, Boogerd, Freire, Veneberg, Menchov, Dekker, Hayman etc etc.

I say Pose Hard, Pose like you mean it, Pose like you're on the team.

Edit: I wouldn't do a real Cat. race in it though.... kinda tacky in that situation IMO.
However, if you were to use it to bait in those cyclist that target folks in team jerseys/kit, go for it. I've ordered my first team jersey just for that purpose. My Domina jersey should arrive by the end of the week!

I didn't like the look of the new Domina jersey because they look like a Hawain shirt.
This one matches my bike so +1 posing points for that!

Tsk tsk. Any poser worth his hubs knows that the correct posing arena for this time of year are the cyclocross and mountain bike courses. You're not even in the right forum. 
Now be a good poser and go buy a $3000 mountain bike. You might also consider a large SUV like a Durango or XTerra as one of your mountain bike posing accessories.
