Who in there right mind,

[AlanW]

....would buy a white winter jacket for heavens sake?

If I still had that physique I might, but then I'd be 20 years younger and not able to afford it

Girls with mudguards. Specially if it's got Teflon non-staininess and a bit of pink.

We're not all road-warriors.

If I still had that physique I might,

I have the right physique....................if I hold my breath long enough

The Swiss, the Austrians and the Germans.

The white Assos winter range is very popular in and around the Alps.

A little odd as riders don't stand out well in the snowy landscapes.

Ah, so we should be looking for something in dull, slushy, grey

That's what mine will look like I expect after this morning ride.

 

[Redvers]

Yeh, stick to the dull, slushy, grey...who wants to be a cycle fashion victim cruising the Alps and living the high life?

I was over in Naples a few weeks ago and noticed that white was a dominant colour in the club kits of road cyclists that I came across.

White takes more effort so it means you're more serious. I gave up with white bar tape and saddle after a few months. I generally do the same thing with training programs and diets. Other cyclists know this.

I wouldn't consider mixing it with a rider with white tape on his cross bike, let alone white kit.

White is also lighter than black, but it's a spooky kind of weight that physicists haven't worked out how to measure yet.
