worst kit ever

[simonfrench]

Anyone seen the new Liquigas Bianchi kit on cyclingnews.com?
The question: Does it beat Phonak for "ugliest pro kit award 2005"?

[Rob]

anything that Cipo wears is beautiful,......the mans a god!

[David Lombari]

I'd second that Rob....although he is pushing his luck with this one (and don't forget his mullett and red shoes phase!).
I still think Phonak are ahead, but check out the Domina 'palm tree' ensemble. Who said Italians are sylish? No wonder Ivan looks depressed!!

Cofidis also manage to muck up an (IMHO) acceptable colour combo with a great big eighties holiday sun thing http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2005/ ... 6/IMG_9393

Agree - Phonak still away in the lead

[Rob]

your cycling fashion correspondent writes:

well, it's difficult to look cool when you've got a great big ad for a french dial-a-loan outfit, or even a swiss hearing aid manufacturer, on your chest, hat, socks and arse.

You can always get an idea of a teams finances by their kit. The cheapo teams have to hunt around for a lot of small sponsors, so have to fit lots of logos onto their kit, which consequently ends up looking like a dogs dinner.

Holy Moly, Tonton Tapis...I pass one of their shops here in Martinique almost everyday.

I'm waiting for the company next door to sponsor a team....

FANNY DECOR...the shop is pink too!

I think I'll put a photo up for proof.

Hi Mattew how are you long time no see- any plans for a club run when the uk warms up a bit- I reckon if you left now you could be at CSS for 9 in May

I never used to like the Saunier Duval kit til I saw this!

i've just watched "a sunday in hell" - 1976 paris roubaix - and i'm very tempted to get one of these Brooklyns:

Unfortunately the Molteni is out of stock.

Been spending the winter on ebay adding some classics to the collection, got a great 80s Colnago, nothing like as bad as their bike colour schemes

[David Lombari]

There's also a second hand shop in Monmouth St (covent Garden) that has loads of original 60's/70's/80's cycling tops.

[Elliot M]

if it's the one i'm thinking of, it closed about 5 years ago???

[David Lombari]

No, I think I went in there just before xmas. Will check & get the name next time I'm up there.

[Elliot M]

hang on i think i know where you mean now. i was thinking of this old place in lexington st or poland st, very old fashioned, literally only sold old jerseys, probably more like 10 yrs ago (i'm getting old).
