Stylish cycling kit

really liking that fifth floor adidas kit

Ex-skidder, racer, part-time model.

Semi-pro

Semi

Always awkward in a skinsuit.

Kit looks great. Also, the 5th Floor people I have met or ridden with (including Rudy at HHV) all seem pretty decent. Maybe its time to let go of anything that happened in the past, and judge them if you meet them or if you don't like what they are doing now. To me, they seem like a dedicated set of bike riders who document what they do in an interesting way, and get some good sponsors as a result.

i am judging them on their kit. and they are fucking awesome. all of them

Yeah if I was judged on what I was like/ things I did 4 years ago I'd have no friends.

Fair play to those 5th floor dudes. Looks like a good deal, nice looking kit too!
I remember helping out with the induction session at HH that Rudy and all the 5th floor guys went on. They all had crazy fancy bikes tri spokes and the like, matched with denim shorts and Vans. Was pretty amusing for the coaches. They've come a long way since then, so good on 'em!

I will always regret selling my old steel Raleigh track frame to Rudy too... even if it was bent.

whats the best cycling socks around ?

has this been resolved yet?

stylish mitts?

Traditional or modern?

modern

I've got a pair of giro zero ii mitts in the post. Look nice but can't decide on the tall cuff. Not really any pictures of someone wearing them...
All black obviously.

I'm loving these at the mo, probably the most comfortable gloves I've worn - about £25, Lizard Skin gloves

Cheaper than their bar tape. Madness.

I remember seeing him regularly on my commute on CS7 with a rised porteur bar that look sweet on it.

Are they all leather?
I blister badly when using synthetic leather gloves.

Sigma had the bar tape at £21 a couple of weeks back. Now 24GBP, so bar tape and naked hands?

I had some and they were very good in my opinion. No padding so obviously only appeal to a certain type of people. They were surprisingly durable and very comfortable until I lost one :(

proper soft English leather [Pittards]. decent pads as well

They look like re-badged versions of the older Giro LX's

Good price for them though

I had to return mine because the first time I put them on the stitching came apart between the fingers. I don't know if they size up really small but the XL were too small for me!

Ended up getting some Gripp FF gloves for track use and remembering that I don't actually like wearing gloves on the road.

Been looking at those for a while. You just made my mind up. £23.50 on Wiggle.
