'Dale Posted January 5, 2011 Author Posted January 5, 2011 Simple, Replica Kits are cool for Kids (trying to be like their hero's and all)Replica kits are cool for Adults that FUN RIDE. It's not cool to wear LiquiGas in the Summer League, unless you're Vincenzo Nibali! It's never cool to wear a Leaders Jersey, EVER! (WC, Yellow, Pink Green etc.) Unless you're the Champion that earned it...Contador, Hushovd etc. Ex Champs can wear em as a Band, That's Cool! World Champ stripes on apparel is Fine. No one really cares!Very interesting distinction there, 101SCC...Did not think about that. Just thought that amateur racing is amateur racing.Wonder what other league riders think...

It's like saying America must change their football rules to Aussie rules.
'Dale Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 I will take you up on that cappucino, but I am not waiting for you up a hill to push me. *haai-jek*Â How's the ol' shoulder coming along? Â I connect well with MariusL. He often mentions you, Big J-WP.
'Dale Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 I will take you up on that cappucino, but I am not waiting for you up a hill to push me. It takes a brave man to wear that silver bibshorts, man.You're it.
DMC007 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Well if you are sporting your world champ stripes and I am riding past you in my club kit at twice the speed thanks for the chuckle. Simple really. It's a bit like the guys who pose outside Vida Cafe Camps Bay with their expensive bikes and pro team kit. When you greet them they ignore you, but when you ride past them having a chat going up chappies a few minutes later, they are pretty vocal with the puffing and panting behind you.  Well said Luke."Go Slow..Look Good"
