Awful cycling kit & jerseys

My mate Ken rides with that ^^ jersey. It looks worse in the flesh!

Very Madchester

Can anyone remember the name of the Pro Team that had the fake denim print shorts in the 80's. Think it started with an M but for the life of me can't track down any photos.

Carrera.

oh no its all going a bit jeggings...........

Nasty overalls look

i like the rock racing jersey and have been after one for a while, i wanted the black red and white version though.
the best thing about awful jerseys is winning a race wearing one. those in the bunch on the start line that were sniggering and nudging have to 'step off'. i mean what can they say "er,er yeah you won but yer jersey sucks man" ......... shut up!

sorry if i missed something.

I like em too, they were doing a 50% off thing a while back so I ordered one... should arrive soon

I bought a 'London rocks' one here.

Looks petty good*, and functions well, for a replica (got the plainer crusifixtion shorts though)

Were you having a nervo at the time?

Trying to work out if it's just a coincidence but the PBK blog posted a compo today to nominate the worst kits ever illustrated with pics that appeared in this here thread... are they that obvious choices?

Lucky you live in the middle of Norway/Nowhere at the moment. That is some nasty gash strip you have wasted your money on.

Welcome, fellow manxman.

So you know each other? How come?

we don't know each other (yet), but we share a pride in in our common (if rather restricted) gene pool!

everywhere i've ever travelled i've met people from the isle of man... i guess the urge to run away at some point casts us far and wide.

we're kind of like australians but with (cough) better interpersonal skills ;)

You say that as though it was some sort of major accomplishment.

not really... i'd obviously much rather be handsome and clever like all the aussies i know :)

Probably not the best Mercxk jersey ever but context = everything....

jesus. competitive cycling in a long gold mac must be tricky.

Yeah, right. :)

I use the bibs for indoor roller training ;)

I quite like the top on its own though. But then vvv
