Stylish cycling kit

they do sporadically send out codes if you sign up to their mailing list. they did just release their collection though so might be a while

Yes, I’ve made use of them in the past. They also occasionally do strava codes too. £180 for a jersey is a preposterous price

Anyone got the PAS defend? Looking at something for these chilly spring mornings. (2/3 degrees currently)

Any recs for soft plain black wool cycling socks? Harder to find than I’d anticipated.

Fan of darn tough lightweights for riding but they don't come in black, dark grey

Hmm thanks. Yeah would prefer black.

@Jameo also thanks but i don’t like the big dhb logos up the back. I do use these in the winter tho.

I should add they don’t have to be wool but I just don’t want that synthetic feel. I want soft.

Is there a "stylish cycling kit anti porn" thread? It's a friend's stag coming up and a few of us are doing a mini tour for it. Any suggestions for really garish, gross jerseys? Am I better off looking for something vintage?

White socks. What’s as good as decathlon but available in bulk (5 pairs or so)?

Solo

Think they've gone bust 😞

Probable why they where so cheap ! Try pongo

@greeno I've been really impressed by the Quoc Merino socks. Not cheap, but super comfy/soft, and over a years use seem v durable ...charcoal?

Pongo are how much?

Yep those look good, have pulled the trigger on a three pack. Thank you

Thanks

These arrived. Actually went the black performance road sock rather than the wool. They are premium - exactly what I was after. I may not look at another sock ever again. Cheers.

concerning socks, big fan of the plain non-hip-hypebike printed designs by Fingerscrossed. Have most of their ranges and it's perfect. Merino for winter, light merino silk for long changable days, superlight for hot days. Also helps that my local stocks it.

Maap bib leg length does it change between range? I usually wear the rapha pro team long, how does it compare?

Nice casual commuter short options to wear over padded boxers? I have SWRVE cottons which have been really impressive in terms of quality but they're just a touch too slim for my legs. I tried Rapha but didn't get on with them. Wouldn't mind something a bit more summer weight that don't look like they're made from shed roofing fabric. Might just try one of the other SWRVE cuts but checking there's nothing else out there worth looking at.

Also keen to find a windproof/breathable (panelled) long sleeve T shirt if anyone has any suggestion?

This season I will mostly be wearing Swrve or Ripton shorts. The latest riptons are a real nice and stretchy denim. Postage from the US is reasonable combined with a sale but better if you can get someone to bring over.

Please tell me your doubling down with the Podium vest? I'm a bit plain for acid etched jorts but those Diesel numbers look nice.
