I wouldn't exactly call it riding with her. In my experience, it's more like choking on her dust as she leaves your ass behind.

Well, I guess if they sponsor you then you must be fast.

Jersey's are amazing, but not for double the cost =/

[shudder]

I'll tell you what. That is one badazz kit, and I would wear the whole thing if I had one. Why not? Hell, it's just clothes. Wearing only the jersey is like only wearing only the sport jacket of an Armani suit instead of the whole suit if you got it (sub in your fave designer here if you no likey the Armani thing -- it's just for example).

I wear my whole Hammer kit and my whole Liquid Fitness kit when I ride my roadie, and when I race my MTB. Point and laugh, I guess.

Please don't discuss my cycling ability or lack thereof. It makes me try to live up to the expectations you have of me,know matter how twisted and excel when in actuality, I am done with that aspect of my life.OMG! I was kidding! Hellooo...

[Bert]

Actually, the more I look at the design the more I want one!

[MTBMaven]

I agree those are super pimp jerseys. Now knowing the price it is going to be fun passing someone riding around the Rose Bowl with one of those on.

Then again I want a polka dot jersey. But then again I will not feel too much like a dufus when I get passed climbing while wearing it either.

It's split. People either love the kits or hate them. I love them.

Id' rather get a Slipstream jersey (I've wanted one since last year), but at $100, it ain't gonna happen.

FWIW, I dig kits and wish I had more. I only have one (Hammer pink).

Those were the special Tour de Georgia (peach) jerseys.

I actually totally dig those, but I also like the lime green/black.

It really stands out IMO from the basic light blues every other team in the Pro Tour uses.

Except CSC (also cool, but a little plain), and typically xxx-Lotto (they change their name every year) has orange/etc.

[supralight]

i like 'em and like most of you, i cant afford them. i think they are pretty badass. its like the only roadie kit i'd actually wear.

[dirtmistress]

They have Slipstream at my shop. I don't know the price but i get 20% off if you ever get extra cash.

[ubermensch]

The kit from their ladies team isn't bad either.

From this past weekend in Ontario:

Just bitchen.

I've been waiting since the TOC (where I took the above pic in Feb) to pick one up... guess I will have to wait a lot longer. A loooooot longer.

might be money well spent for a road rider. No way could a driver ever say they didn't see someone wearing that!

Yea you chicks have to go for the girls kit it's cut to highlight your assets. As far as the dude goes he's a bit much! I first saw him at Solvang during the tour he thinks he's a roral???The next time he was trying to do our local saturday road ride, not only is he weak but, lid dagling on the bars! Poorly breaking in the paceline just before a small power hill already going about 24 then blowing up before the crest. He is f*@%in lame..
Also I know three Dudes on the B team one dude on the junior team plus a few chicks. Yea the thing is nutty!On flip side what he's doing and the riders on the payroll is a [SIZE=2]necessary [/SIZE]overdue shakeup, good overall. It's just the guy?? Maybe you need to have a cool girl's STR road kit made???

How do I get sponsored by them?

I bought one of these last week because it was in the $25 bin at Bannings. I had no idea that it meant anything until I showed up to ride in it at Ojai.

Thank god that I went for yellow and cheap when I bought the bike and unwittingly end up with only two chain rings. Thank god.

is that girl up on the ladies team really sponsored or maybe endorsed? I though team riders rode the De Rosa custom bikes, not C-dales?

That girl is Priscilla Calderon, affectionately known as "PC". Only Rock's elite riders get the DeRosas.

Ahh thanks for the clarification. Basically she gets the kit and race entry payed for im assuming? Maybe a deal on a cadillac?
