My recent travails looking for a jersey for winter brought home to me how fundamentally ugly some things in cycling now are.
Di2 mechs, yeuk
Big fat carbon frames
Hideously finished carbon frames with the weave showing (is that deliberate)
totally black rat bikes (Specialized I'm looking at you)
discs on roadbikes (Hideous)
curved main tubes (why, just why)
Squared tubes (g'way with you now)
Huge branding on everything
And that's just the things that immediately stood out. I couldn't find a jersey unless it was red or black or branded across the chest. I also thought the quality was pretty iffy for the price on some stuff.
No doubt some of you will disagree. I won't argue with you, there's no point in arguing with people who are wrong, that's why I never bother with Markymark.
