Who'd wear these?

[carlosthejack...]

I'd have the Batman and maybe the Captain America if only they were bibshorts!

My mate has the spiderman set. I refuse to ride with him when he wears it.

I'd wear them If and only if I was doing a charity bike ride like the coast to Coast or something. However I would end up looking like this.

Brave man for purchasing a KOM jersey. They are fair bait on a climb!

I bought my daughter one though for the Tour.

Slightly off topic, I had to laugh openly and loudly at my mate who decided to buy a full set of OPQ team kit before Le Tour. He told me on Sunday when we were out for a short, flat, 30 miler that he'd got it all on order. Of course, nothing to do with Cav being the ManUtd of the cycling wannabees, no no. And of course, when it comes, I am going to laugh louder and harder when I'm at the top and he's wheezing in a gutter halfway up.

Team kits are for people with the skills to back it up.

And Batman gear is for The Batman. Don't piss him off.

Don't see any problem wearing team kit if that't your choice. I was given full Garmin and Belkin kit recently by the teams and it looks smart and fits better than anything I've previously had - I try not to get carried away by 'the rules'.

Mind you i'd probably draw the line at Team SKY kit...

[Seb]

I'm a sucker for the team sky pro gear. The quality is second to none, it's comfortable, the fit is spot on and Rapha's warranty seals the deal. It might make me look a bit of a knob, but eh, I can half justify it on the hills at least!

I could never be a full kit wanker, my mate wears full bmc kit, bought because "i liked the colours" lol. Also no way would I wear I polka dot Jersey, that is just asking for it on the climbs

Full kits often cost more for the same material as the manufacturers own. I bought a pair of black Pearl Izumi bib shorts the other week. The identical ones with BMC on were £20 more expensive.

If you're after some hills head over my way and hit me up, i'm 5 miles out from the peaks and about 10 from Winnats Pass and other notable climbs
