Stylish cycling kit

Bought the Roleur x Pas Normal Studio cap by mistake. Didn't see the Roleur collab logo on product page ... and the colour came through different to pictured ... and I realised that riding around with PNS blazoned across my forehead is possibly an uncomfortable truth too far.

On topic though, the Velominati thing is fucking trite, I thought Roleur was better than that.

I got the XS and its a bit big too. Or maybe I'm just too used to super tight fit "stylish cyling kit" nowadays

Mamil fodder.

Sean Sako collabs. Jesus wept.

Not to mention the wank-tacular Chpt.3 stuff.

Remember, we live in a world where EC1 Collective exists.

Mamil fodder.

And what isn't?

Mike skipped arm day again?

;-)

his arms are so ridiculously skinny it's quite unbelieveable

Can anyone recommend some decent quality bib shorts that won't break the bank? After something I can use on their own and with leg warmers when it's a bit chilly but not cold enough for tights.

Work in fintech, join EC1 and get Le Col. You can then break a bank while working and still afford clobber.

Think DHB black range are highly thought of, even by @amey once upon a time!

Endura are also good

Not stylish in any way, but I rate Specialized's bib range. Got a thermal pair in Sigma sale a few week back for about £25 and they're very comfy and well made. Wear their RBX bibs for commuting and general riding with no issues, cost <£25.

DHB is fucking great. Possibly the best 'cheap' brand out there. The fit is nice, they use the same chamois pad as Rapha.

Do they really?

La Passione have a sale on at the mo. Great shorts for long miles...

Did rapha change pad then? Dhb have best pads, not too thick, kind of "waffle" texture fabric. Ver comfy. Much better than the old rapha pad.

I also have Bardet-esque arms.

Shame the pocket stitching isn't any good. My M seemed well put together. Defo email them about it - they got back to me super quickly and seem very nice folk.

I haz La Passione and DHB. DHB are better put together but I feel like a noob when I wear them, where La Passione I feel like a sexy connoisseur.

I like how La Passione pitch themselves, not EC1 / Vulpine / Rapha wank, but a bit more fancy than DHB. Also because they're Italian made it proves I know a lot about cycling and have been into it since before it was cool.

These are brilliant shorts.. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-asv-race-bib-shorts-black-edition/ no idea what pad Rapha use, I'm sure amey can confirm.

No doubt. Sadly I'm too much of a wanker to wear DHB.

but I feel like a noob when I wear them

Nah... kit choices come full circle...

noob -> dhb
poseur/MAMIL -> Rapha
Experienced -> dhb/castelli

I dunno some full kit Dhb on ride London today. Looks properly shit.

Sure the pad is elastic interface, but stylish it ain't.

Talking of stylish is saw Des in his isadore jersey and he looked proper stylish. Nice Burls too bud.

Dhb need roleur collab and price increase of 200%

Does anyone know what the quality of Evans' own brand stuff is like? They've got a long sleeve jersey for £24 thats tempting, just to wear under the jersey I have to wear for work.

Cups?!?

Anyone know of an alternative to DZR shoes?
Basically a vans lo with recessed cleats.
inb4 MTB shoes, nope.
