Twin six does some great work here and there. I'm glad to see them drifting away from their conspicuous styling to more refined designs.

Fuck yes I'll wear flowers. So long as I'm not riding through the ghetto.

I dont bother with kit. I never chafe and don't sweat as much as a lot of folks so I don't feel the need to.

We've been getting our team kit from Voler, this years' should be here end of next month. I'm getting two pair bib shorts, a speedsuit and shoe covers for TT's, two summer jerseys, one long-sleeve winter jersey, arm warmers, and an insulated jacket (also with team and sponsor logos, for those cold weekday night training rides and cold morning early-season races).

I ride a road bike long distances and slow

I say forget wearing a kit of any sort unless you are racing in competitions regularly.

Wool t-shirt (black) is best in all weather.

Hipster cut-off shorts made from thin elastic denim are awesome for biking

hard-soled sneakers like Sambas are great on flat pedals

And you can bike to a town, walk around, and not have your genitalia on display.

Just a thought. I side with Rivenmeme on this one

Anyone mind posting the /n/ jerseys?

>>917008
>Wool or cotton anything, ever when doing sports

So I'm assuming long distance and slow means 20 miles at walking speed? Because if you did anything that actually makes you sweat you'd understand why people wear lycra

actually wool can be really nice to ride in the summer. I always throw on some defeet wooleators if there's a chance of rain.

rapha uses a wool blend in all their non-racing kit. I can't afford it because fuck rapha, but I would be their number one fan if I could.

This isn't why i wear it, but does anyone else think drivers are far less hostile and just generally chill the fuck out more when you're wearing cycling kit? I like riding in t shirts and shorts too and that seems to be when people shout insults and beep and get mad, but when i'm in cycle clothes people shout encouragement or smile or do the thumbs up if i'm killing it on a steep climb or spinning a big gear.

>>917008
I live in Australia and have to cycle up hills in 25 - 36 degrees celcius all summer. I also have to get to work on time.


you simply don't know what you're talking about. If I was to ride a Rivenfaggot steel clunker junker with two top tubes costing a ridiculous amount it would be slow as fuck, have moustache bars and the geometry wouldn't allow me to be aero or get out of the wind.

Like it's cool if you are a filthy scrub and can't understand why others would ride differently to you but don't come on here and present your opinion to us when you know damn well you're completely full of shit.

>>917180
American here, I hate to agree with a Shitpostistani but same here, I wear lycra and clipless pedals and have drop bars because I have some ways to go and actually like to get to work in a reasonable time. Other people who cycle for recreation/weight loss/being "hipster" (?!) can do what they want.

But I just wear whatever lycra and lance armstrong exhibitionist gear is on sale from trashbar, and ebay surplus merino base layers. I can't justify Rapha or even current-season Gore Tex. Which means real freds won't accept me as their own, and militant casuals like nikko will hate me because I'm too much of a fred.

Which is fine with me don't get me wrong.

>>917184
It goes deeper than those reasons though. Realistically if you're not pushing yourself hard you aren't going to continually increase your level of fitness and if you aren't trying to go faster, further and improve then you're squandering your potential.

Part of the reason why commuting to work and relying on a bicycle for transportation is so rewarding is that you can get the majority of your fitness and transportation needs met in a very enjoyable way. Not only that but the costs compared to a car or a gym membership are very low and you could easily cheap out and get a steel/alu frame with shimano claris and it would be quite effective.

The guy that you and the kangaroo fucker were addressing seems like a luddite who is unnecessarily limiting his potential and of course, we all know the real reason why: He's poor and lazy.

>>917190
Well that may be realistic, but are you also writing to be honest?

>>917190
the vast majority of people who commute to work on a bike are not going sanic fast and are irritated by the people who cat 6 race, and sometimes even discouraged from commuting because the cat 6 people are incredibly rude dickwads who create dangerous situations.

and then there are the fuckfaces who feel like it's okay to not shower after they go sanic to work.

>>917204
>that guy who thinks "sanic" is a word

>>917190

"Luddite" here.

Kits and dork gear keep regular, cool people away from cycling. Same with Fred's, cycle clubs, and pro cyclist wannabes.

When I ride, it's for adventure and to relax. I have done a century averaging ten miles per hour in a smart wool T shirt. You think that's pussy shit. Okay.

Most people will never race competitively. Wearing kit is for racers.

Even if you are competing with yourself for better times, you don't need kit.

Try riding in a black micro wool shirt in 90F heat. It's amazing. Sweat evaporates off of you, show up smelling clean, not wet, and not wearing a Lycra diaper.

Or don't... Whatever. It's cool if you wanna Lycra but saying it's necessity is silly. Look at what touring cyclists wear. They've got it right for casual riding that 90% of potential cyclists are interested in

Last angle is consumerism the same people pushing the newest horse shit tech on weekend riders are the same ones telling you you need a kit to enjoy cycling

Kit is a privilege, not a right.
I don't understand people who buy fat people clothes. It's better just to be a normal weight and wear shitty clothes until you're done fixing yourself.

I used to be all "hurr, all this fancy kit is pointless. All it does is show how much money you've got to waste. I can manage in regular shorts and t-shirt". But then I actually tried merino baselayers and cycle-shorts; it makes cycling SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE. I sweat but don't feel any sweat, my shorts don't bunch up or get caught on the saddle, and it's all so light and airy it's like I'm wearing nothing at all, nothing at all, NOTHING AT ALL.

Specialist sports gear exists for a reason: it makes life so much easier. There are some fads, sure. But the long-favoured tried-and-true stuff is just that, tried and true.

The thing is, if you're obese, you can and should shed that weight within a few months.

If you're not the kind to don lots of skin tight Lycra. Look into swrve. They make very durable, practical, and /fa/ clothing for the every cyclist.

>>917842
>People think hey i can walk off my road bike
But this isn't wrong. I walk a block in my MTB shoes to the shower when I get to work, and a block back to the office. I wouldn't want to walk around all day in them but it's totally fine for short distances. Why would I want to clop around like a maimed horse in road shoes?
>get mtb pedal hotspots
Yeah, if you're riding 100+ miles then maybe this is a problem, most people who stick MTB pedals on a road bike are doing it for short commutes of under 25 miles. Also if you have to unclip a few times due to traffic lights or whatever, double sided is really nice.

>>917842
This trend of taking all things to their extremes is part of why the cycling community is unbearable sometimes. People bike in many different ways and should compromise however works best for them, deal with it.

>>917842
okay but get this, I dont give a shit what I look like to 'real cyclists' or regular folks, I want to know if I can get away with wearing cycling shorts under regular shorts without bunching and shit being so much of an issue that it makes the shorts worthless

In my area I've seen three hardcore roadies in kit matching their bike, pedaling at 125rpm to maximize their efficiency and look so fucking pro with their high cadence, and I passed one of them wearing a bulky suede jacket, on a shitty beat up old trek mtb with clip ins, while wearing off-brand non slip chuck taylors that had soles softer than a babies ass.

So I'll go ahead and disregard their opinions because they're a bunch of fat old men anyway who I'm only going to see when its between 63 and 68 degrees out and the wind isn't too strong in any direction

Regular lycra under shorts feels pretty weird and slides around a lot, I guess it works but I'd recommend getting mtb liners instead.

Also, you don't know what kind of ride that rider have been on before your passing them. Keep it in mind, your story alone proves nothing about you or them.

Aren't there any companies that make just cheap, plain colored merino jerseys with no bullshit?

Or is it merino wool simply that expensive?

I think $77 for a simple wool jersey is a bargain. You should looks into the used market. There are tons of merino jerseys on ebay that can be had for $10-50 depending on the vintage.

pic related is a castelli sportwool blend on ebay right now for $35

welcome to the global economy, where cost of raw materials, cost of manufacture, cost of machinery, space, overhead, marketing, &c. all influence the cost to the end-user.

inb4 supply & demand. Just bc you have an idea of what you're willing to pay for it, it doesn't then follow that someone will meet your demand.

I just don't own any lycra
and i'm plenty comfortable already so why change

merino is better than synthetics all year round

>>917995
there are good synthetics, and there are bad synthetics

It doesn't matter who is contracted to build it, because huffy does the quality control, so it's a huffy.

>All this talk about "hurr durr don't wear wool"

Poly/merino/bamboo thermals with a rain shell over them are top-tier for winter riding, Same theory applies to bottoms but leg warmers are best as they're compatible with all types of shorts including bibs.

Add in a neoprene balaclava, shoe covers/gaiters and some good gloves and there's no excuse to skip riding in the wet unless the temps are ridiculous.

I really want one of the Serotta 7-11 team bikes.

Back in the days of steel, pro racing bikes were typically custom built for the rider by a good framebuilder (Serotta, Pegoretti, Yamaguchi, etc) and then painted with the sponsor's color scheme and decals. That was even the case for people riding bikes labeled Trek or Cannondale or Bianchi or whatever. That practice stopped when everyone moved to garbon, because now the shape of the frame is part of the bike sponsor's brand.

No, just sometimes. It was not uncommon, but it wasn't the norm.
