Stylish cycling kit

Does anyone have experience of La Passione bibs? Specifically the PSN shorts?

They’re great. Best shorts I own. Classic bibs (not sure of they’re still called that) are also great.

Nice one - how do you find the fit? I'm 6'2 and around 63kg. I wear S in Rapha bibs as anything larger is baggy on my thighs

Both pretty race-fit, imho. I wear small and am 5’10” and probably about 65-67kg they fit tighter than the rapha classic bibs I had.

Cheers. I'll try in a small then.

Mr maker is making an ef tt helmet tribute cap. He’s making me want a beak and bobbly eyes on my helmet

Does anyone know what's going on with Svelte? Thought that seeing as they are London-based someone might know or even be involved. I got a long sleeved merino jersey from them just before Christmas and it is absolutely lovely.

They seem to be doing a Crust.

I do hope they come back, it's the nicest jersey I have owned. Might drop them a cheeky message to see if they have any stock they didn't sell before shutting down...

It's one of these (I'm not nearly that skinny and bought the right size so mine isn't baggy like this).

You call that baggy?

Love this.

This collection exists at the intersection between movement and colour. It explores how art can be expressed in a fresh context and includes a range of lucid textural pieces and kinetic type-based compositions that vibrate off the fabric with a sense of hyperactivity. Saturated colours float in defiance of the grid, clashing with kaleidoscopic patterns. It all serves to connect an energetic aesthetic with a modern identity.

That's a decent looking jersey.

I'm diggin this as well actually... there's a grey version that's pretty fire

They have nailed it, but bit too spendy IMHO.

Does anyone have any experience of Tiralento ?

I'm really taken with the Italian 1949 TdF jersey

Those Attaquer jerseys are bangin. Anyone know how they size up to Rapha PT?

Vulpine do some nice ones. We’re going half price on sport pursuit.

Buy the same size, in my experience.

Giro Cycles are dealer, drop them an email. They respond really quickly.

AFAIK the Attaquer stuff should be like Rapha PT.

Ta both 👍🏻

Any recommendations for a decent, plain, inexpensive long sleeve jersey? Nothing too insulated but not super thin either. Even better, is anyone selling something that fits the bill in a medium or a less tight small? Dark colours or a non fluoro orange preferred.

Rapha Classic Winter Jersey, Black, Merino blend, smallish medium, £55?

Sounds ideal, I'll shoot you a message!

No ex0erience, but it looks fantastic. No merino I see, but the vintage jerseys I wear were always acrylic. So no prblem there I guess. If I ever do eroica again I'm getting my stuff from them I think, really dig that carpano jersey. Might as well gat those while I'm at it as I ruined my retro shorts with a cpuple of crashes.
