Curses. My partner has just bought a matt black bike, but it is last years model so...
Ridley Noah - Is it wrong to buy a bike in team colours?

Sort of on topic. Ish
Adam Blythe is heartily unimpressed by a CW article that classes wearing "Team kit (unless you are on the team)" and "Leaders' jerseys" alongside a load of other made up nonsense as "Cycling kit blunders".

A word to the wise, CW - leave the making up of silly rules to the Velominati. At least you get the sense that they may be tongue in cheek.

Just WOW! I'm sure some country lass with pink barbour wellies would love something like that.
the finish on the engine block and axles etc is amazing too.

Was painted like that for something to do with breast cancer. Same as all the pink baler wrapping that was around a couple of years ago (At least it was round here)

Can confirm there are long lead times for some Ridley builds, we have managed to get some (3! with 2 more next year)Fenix slic frames which we have managed to build up in 105 and Ultegra;only size a small and extra small left though.
Full builds are well in to next year
with some even in to 2023.
Oh and some custom paint frame sets may be subject to a long wait also.

Team colours were highly desirable on TI Raleigh team replica bikes in the 1970s. And Bianchi made celeste blue their own. I don't tend to wear team jerseys but, if you're not happy with your bike, just send it my way
