Ours is black and white... we did that for the 07 Cross Season.
Do you see how many damn teams are doing the black/white kits this year?
Lame.

i actually haven't seen many kits this year as i haven't raced or been on many open training rides. i've seen crash's coffee kit, and jeff's rancho's kit. and my team's kit looks like this which i really like. in fact, it's the main reason i joined the team.
but the bearclaw kit looks pretty badass.

James also has a 3-car garage to house his 7 bikes. 
(Last count: 2 road, 1 TT, 1 track, 1 cyclocross, 2 MTB) I have no such space.
I might very well get a mountain bike. Eventually. But after I find the right crit bike... and the track bike... and the rain bike...

I gave up mountain biking after I realized that I was spending more time DRIVING to and from the rides than I was actually riding.
And this was back in the 80s when there were more areas in the OC to ride.I figure that when my wife and I retire and we build our dream house in the sticks off of the grid, I'll get another mountain bike since I'll be able to ride right outside my front door.

I've got my banana hammock cocked and locked...where do I start the initiation?
ps. Team Bearclaw got their black and white kit idea from the SoCal Bike Forums jerseys...but were too cheap to get that one extra color.

What cat do you race? The condition for all new racers is that they must, at the minimum, upgrade to Cat 3 within their first season of racing (Chet prefers Cat 2 in one season, but he isn't too strict on that one)

because they aren't the cool tire of the moment. gp4000's are toast, so i'm getting krylions. i had great luck with the previous version of those, plus the bike will look good with a splash of red.

I'll talk to Chet (I hear he's currently out in Tennesee doing some tornado dodging, it's his new favorite sport... more or less, he sees how close he can get to the tornado before he moves)
What cat do you race? The condition for all new racers is that they must, at the minimum, upgrade to Cat 3 within their first season of racing (Chet prefers Cat 2 in one season, but he isn't too strict on that one)

Whatever man...whatever.
