Team Kit

[G3CWI]

Saw an oldish bloke ride by yesterday in full OPQS kit. Just checked it out on their website. Gosh it's expensive. I suppose it's like Man U gear; the fans will pay anything to wear it?

 

[SeeFarr]

If he's willing to pay for it then fair play to him.

 

[redcard]

Pay anything? That's a bit of a bizarre jump in logic.

I can never get my head round these sort of posts. If he's a millionaire is £200 too much?

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

I have official OPQS kit...... I don't consider it to be expensive, what are you comparing it to when you state its expensive?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

OPQS.... Omega Pharma Quick Step?

Not that I'd wear it, but I wasn't aware that it was seen as being any worse than any of the other team kits.

If you go to that continental Europe it's a common site to see pensioners out on fancy bikes in full kit, good on 'em!

Personally I have never felt the need to seek some spurious association with a sports person or team. To me it seems slightly odd. But then again, looking at the number of "Wayne Rooney" associates you see in pubs around here on Saturdays, perhaps I'm the odd one out?

I don't see anything wrong with following a team. I don't own any team cycling tops (apart from my Fridays jersey) but I do own some obscure team shorts that were good quality but ridiculously cheap. I also own 3 London Irish rugby tops, 3 Munster rugby tops and I've honestly no idea how many Liverpool tops I have kicking around. Oh and a St Helens rugby league top and a Limerick hurling top.

Surely there's a difference between being on a bike in team kit and wearing a Rooney football shirt when out on the lash!

Personally I don't wear team kit on the bike although I do have a cool Duvel beer jersey.

The only 'team' kit I have is my cyclechat short-sleeve

 

[Sittingduck]

What a douche-bag. I bet he didn't even give a 'cheery' wave, either?! Some people... sheesh

 

[G3CWI]

Neither do I. But I don't feel an overwhelming desire to dress like them. As I said before, perhaps I'm the odd one out?

Oh yeah, one if them too! And a FNRttC one, although I'm probably not officially allowed to wear it anymore.

...and what do you mean by "oldish"?
