In my mind, yes, poor taste. Maybe things are different in Columbia, tho. Attention getting, just not in a positive way.

I agree. A bit over the top, or I mean the bottom. I wonder what the back looks like?

They don't have their cycling shoes on for the pic.

Apparently it's gold that just looks more flesh toned in pictures.

That's their chamois in the front - making it look like something else!

I much prefer a more modest kit as worn by Miss Edith of the Williamsburg Tea and Cycling Society

Just people with filthy minds thinking filthy things...
Me included. When I first viewed the pic yesterday on another sight, it actually looked like they were trying to show "bush" as it were. The second picture in this thread helps make sense of it all.
Not the best looking kit.

Quite frankly that rear fender with the expanded metal is pretty shill.

I, um, quite like it... a lot.
I mean extremely distasteful and borderline offensive!

I think the second pic makes it look almost like Suede. I don't mind them at all frankly, but definitely can understand the controversy when viewing pics from further away

Hi everyone - Please don't post pictures detailing the "privates" of guys or gals, even if covered. Many find it offensive, and children may be in the forums. We have deleted the same picture numerous times. Thanks!

While it's also amusing, I've seen people try to claim that it's "only" because it's women that they made a poor color choice - it's been done before, with even more disturbing results, in male racing, lol.
