Stylish cycling kit

It shows that the majority of cyclists appear to have appalling taste.

Some of the kit in this thread is a fuckin bam. So pish

This thread is convincing me to take up golf. Has this thread always been a piss take?>

Pretty much. It just seems that some of the more opinionated folk that share the belief that Rapha are the sole provider of stylish kit have now found it...

And on that note.....'Strayla maaaaaaaate

Hipsters+cycling kit=armageddon

Can someone please translate?

Why do all the hipster models have a bewildered look on their face?

waking up from a stoned night out "oh shit I didn't agree to model shitty kit!"

Ha! Yeah, I guess you're right.

That lime green convict gilet they just released would contradict that theory tbh. Pug ugly.

Q: Are there any quality cycling shorts with out the bib feature? Not ready for full bib yet.

Literally no reason not to ride bibshorts

And all sorts of reasons why you should. Speshly this time of year.

easier to have a wee

Ask @hippy he tends not to use bibshorts and is a world champion (though these days he may advocate a skinsuit).

There are winter bibs (usually full or 3/4) that designed to go over normal bibs which doesn't have padding, might be worth trying a size down to ensure a better fit.

Having said that, just get some with padding, if you don't like it after a while, you can just carefully removed the pads by cutting off the thread holding it.

Win/win.

This is a really good reason

Is he looking for shorts without pads or without bib straps?

Yes, I primarily ride in shorts. I have some bibs and winter bibs but I only wear them because they are there (I didn't buy them).

Shorts are quicker to get on and get off making pissing easier and sex with all the fans throwing themselves at me from the roadside during my training rides.

They're also far cheaper and when you're riding 7 days a week you need a few pairs of shorts!

I also don't find bibs more comfortable than shorts which is most people's reason for suggesting bibs.

Assos do padded shorts without the bib straps.

Rapha also sell some posh padded boxer shorts which can be worn under something else.

When you said short, this come to mind.

Assos or GTFO >>>

Actually, that reminds me, can you still buy Assos F1.Mille shorts or are they all the new S5 blue chamois?

On an MTB-cum-hybrid?

On everything. I often wear Humvee when riding into town anyway. Vanity, pockets, warmer, etc

Endura casuals & Assos padded FTW.
