But we look so neato. And if you wear a Rock Racing kit you will become 2 mph faster. It's a scientific fact I read it on the Internet.
Just picked it up from here. One of the best ever STR roadie threads.... http://www.socaltrailriders.org/for...avoid-looking-like-cycling-roadie-rookie.html and if you think roadies are gay check out the carnage at Paris Roubaix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSf3TWjL97U&feature=player_embedded Being on both sides on the MTB / roadie coin, i think road riding is a hell of a lot more dangerous and bloody. In the end we are all the same Tribe.
vlad! i like what you had to say... road XC mtb all the same...all the fastest do both or did both at someone point!
I don't care what the fashion police try to enforce: My Cutters T-shirt has always brought me good luck!
I'm not a roadie, and I don't know much about road biking. However, looking at that photo, I think it's pretty cool how they're all leaning at almost the exact same angle, their heads are at similar angles, and their legs are in similar positions. It looks almost synchronized.
Sorry for the thread drift but doesn't that Trek frame look a lot like this Hong Fu Chinese knock off?
Radioshack on Mountain Bikes. I hear the entire team will be doing all of the Socal State Series and US Cup in 2010. Might be hard to beat them. http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/photos/radioshack-camp-goes-off-road
Is it my imagination, or do these guys all look eerily as if the faces were photoshop-pasted onto the bodies? Something vaguely jibjab.com bobble-heady or Monty Python-esque. Anyone else think so?
Road and Mountain Wear: Spandex: Check Coordinated Jersey: Check Neon Colors: Check (Want to be obvious to cars/hunters). Does everything have to match?: Nope, unless its clean. Everybody wears what they like and is comfortable in, unless its the team kit. Personally, I'll never conform (yep, all you non-conformists look alike to me) to the apparent MTB code of wearing clothes that say "I don't give a &*%$ about what I look like, I just want people to look at the color of my boxers hanging out the a$$ while my xtra long shorts (they're knickers once they're past the knees, which then means you've gone Euro-trash) have gotten caught on my rear wheel and are effectively my rear brake." BTW...how does the non-spandex crowd feel after 6+ hours of pedaling? I doubt you're using chamois butt'r on your thighs to stop all that wonderful chafing.
I guess Ill throw away my Brian Urlacher and Dirk Nowitski jerseys then too ....lol. I think most people dont like the Rock stuff because the kits like $500 w/out socks. My wife loves it and she already spends $150+ on Michael Ball's jeans might as well have the cycling kit. I havent seen another company put as much time, marketing and thought into their cycling gear as Rock Racing so more power to em'. Radio Shack can definitely do better though. You have one of the top 5 sports Icons in America on your team and your going to market him in "that" lol.
If I had the $$$ I'd have a shit ton of cycling kits. and a bike with more gears :lol: Radio Shacks jerseys' look pretty damn plain especially compared to their Treks. I'm sure they'll have something better soon
