Stylish cycling kit

Didnt realise there was a velosamba thread! None left in my size unfortunately but that's hopeful, thanks.

I want what they’re on ...

Pat Butcher jersey came out last weekend. Many many comments from various people along the way

got myself one of these coming

The inspiration around this jersey is a combination of my love for 80’s football kits (particularly the classic geometric fades that Adidas produced for clubs and national teams) blended with the Scottish Tweed pattern, houndstooth.*

Almost pulled the trigger on one of them, I've ordered a frame after all, but I have WAY too many jerseys. Do you know if the pre-order is all that's coming in or will there be some for sale in the future?

not sure...

what frame did you go for ? torragar ?

Yup. Managed to get most of the bits together to build it up, few more weeks to wait on the frame but no rush. Ultimately a fast tourer is my main idea.

Looking forward to it.

Does anyone have Victory Chimp bibs? their size chart says I should be a M, but have always been a S across the board with other brands. Do they come up smaller than other brands?

If anybody is planning to get some stuff from Lusso the code CV20 gives 20% off.

Just got the Uniqlo x Theory ultra light shorts and they are amazing, like somebody went and fixed most of what was wrong with the Rapha touring shorts.

Any suggestions for decent t shirts for cycling all day in? Ideally wouldn't look too cycle-y and would also ideally be plain and black.

Rapha merino base layer?

Patagonia capilene

Ideally cheaper than both of those, I'll need a few! Starting a new job that involves a lot of cycling but don't want to dress too bikey. Also, no wool or other animal products please!

Just use Nike/adidas/Decathlon/etc running/gym t-shirts.

My suggestion would be bamboo; similar qualities to merino but no animal products. Plenty out there, but you'd struggle with cheap.

Good call, I'm sure I can get a multi pack for not loads of money.
@se1derful, bamboo might be a good shout as well, thanks.

'Bamboo' fabric is just a rebranding of rayon/viscose, isn't it?

all the bamboo stuff I had was exactly like cotton and nothing like wool.

Eh? How so?

I had a bamboo tshirt, it was thin fitted like shit.

Do you have any more specific reccs for regular fit bamboo stuff?

The Continental bamboo tees are great, I believe Condor used to use them for their tees. Otherwise keep an eye out for the tell-tale collar size label
