Default STR Road Jersey?

Is it time for us roadies to get our own jersey? Something simple, poop brown, with some roadie inspired designs?

I really like the cut on the Voler full zip front, like the Hammer jersey.

I'm using my XC jersey as my road jersey. Works great.

It would have to be something brighter, flashier and with matching shorts.

Don't know about the flashier colors. Though the matching shorts that complement the current design is a great idea.

I still consider myself a mountain biker that's currently putting a lot of time on the road.

I hear ya. I REALLY like my XC jersey too. Fits great. But originally I voted for this one because I thought it'd catch drivers' eyes better on the road.

Me too. Maybe Red/Gray will gain some momentum for whenever Jersey Order Batch 3 rolls around. The way this site is growing perhaps that won't be too long.

I really like the idea of using the STR brown. We could do an STR brown in place of the red shoulders and white for the main body. It would be killer if the STR logo was made of a reflective material. Also take mechmann's idea of the chain ring rather than the rotor.

Maybe some small font roadie shite talking stuff like:
1 one less car
2 one less mountain biker
3 mountain biker turned roadie
4 roadie persona
5 my other bike is a mountain bike
6 Pavement is for pussies
7 You don't have to be having fun to have fun
8 Share the Road
9 On Your Left
10 Tipples are for Pussies
keep them coming

I'm totally down with a JensonUSA sponsorship to help keep costs down.

For a road jersey it has to be something in a dayglow color.
Flourescent colors for jerseys say, "On your left".

Not so in to the dayglow colors but I love the "On your left" though. Problems it I'm going to look like a real poser when people pass me all the time.

How about my signature? You don't have to be having fun to have fun. Truer words have never been spoken IMO.

What's that supposed to mean?

I can be a real a$$hole at times. Usually when driving, hence why I like to ride.
