Looking for a bike jersey
 
OK, I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that makes decent bike jerseys. I have been looking for a while but all the new jersey are way to flashy. To state it simply, I would be embrassed to wear in public. The old school jerseys are pretty sweet, but would like to be informed of something new.

Now, I would ask this on the roadie forum, but they would tell me to get a bib or something I would never be able to live down. Have you seen those primal wear jersey, damn they're ugly.

Thanks illin

Avoid the bummer life...

I go for the atheletic sweat wicking shirts. The flashiest one I have is an orange nike running shirt. The others are gray, blue, and white.

Really? I dated a girl that looked a lot like her. Weird.

Anyway, I also rock the sweat-wicky running shirts. Nike ones are nice, and I got a grey one, black one and white one on sale at Dick's for $10 each or something.

I do want a wool jersey for winter, though, but I don't poop hundred dollar bills.

I think Endura makes one called the Halcyon or something for around $85.

Their "Messenger" hoodie could've been so nice. Instead, it is not.

100% Wool? Check.
Full zip hoodie? Check.
Thumb holes in sleeves? Check.
Choice of one heinous colour scheme? Check.
Embarrassing "Know Your Rights" embroidery in repulsive spice rack font on the back? Checkaroo.

Yet another reason to wear your bag ALL THE TIME. ;)

heliumb 10-13-06 07:18 AM

I picked up some $30ish dollar blank ones from velowear dot com (voler). I'm not into looking like a Nascar, but still needed some jersey pockets.

pigmode 10-13-06 07:28 AM

This plain colored Swobo jersey is high on my list. They told me it has elastic at the arms and waist.

luckycat 10-13-06 08:50 AM

Hey illin, you understand that bibs are shorts, not jerseys right?

Red Riding Hood 10-13-06 09:21 AM

Yeah, I wear a nike one. It's a decent long sleeve jersey and awesome at keeping me cool in coolish weather, but not freezing. I don't have a jacket though. I should get one.

Yep. *sigh*. I've been thinking of the Portland Cycle Wear full zip trainer. Probably a serious logistical nightmare but a BF SS/FG group buy would be sweet.

Yes it would be. I love my Velospace shirt, but I bet Gregg had a lot of trouble.

they cost a meeeeeeelion dollars each. very subdued...

Ken Wind 10-13-06 03:33 PM

That's awesome.

endform 10-13-06 05:19 PM

Here's my fav, it's local though. http://www.sellwoodcycle.com/merchandise.htm I like the new style.

Also wouldn't a more pertinent message for the back of that messenger hoodie be "know my rights." With the implied 'you should.'
