I know you're not serious because there's no bold.

But where were you when people were posting pictures of semi-naked non-cyclists? Huh?

Beasty · 20-10-2013 7:50pm

... in Manchester

happytramp · 20-10-2013 7:55pm

Well lets ask the man himself. Jan, what do you think of this thread?

Master Mullen - he has the style. Even on one of those funny bikes he has the style.

Whoever he is it looks like the BBC/Dr.Who special effects team from the 70's had a bit of a go at his jacket before they gave it back to him.

Sorry (possibly off topic here).
But anyone heading on a group spin in this weather without a rear guard should cycle solo. It is simply very poor form on your fellow club mates.
For clubs with groups I would simply put all of the non mudguard crew into the dame group.
I cycled in this morning and was trying to go slowly to spin out my legs. This bint overtook me and then slowed down so she could simply sit right in front - result - eating her mud spray.
I had to speed up to get past her just so that I could see ahead.

I was merely joking, if the club forces me to put mudguards I ll eventually put em up, but what's the difference against a thursday night race in the rain?

I kinda hear ya, but racing is different. You want the pain and discomfort in racing. For more social group spins you might just want a nice spin in good company.

It's not so much that you want the pain and discomfort, it's that the pain and discomfort is so great that a soggy arse and a face full of animal excrement doesn't really make it any worse. Also, mudguards stays are dangerous in a crash, which is more likely in a wet race.

Whereas group club cycling is not supposed to involve pain, discomfort or crashing.

I'll have you know that that jacket was the height of style in its day (early 90's). The *height* of style.

le petit braquet · 21-10-2013 6:03pm

For anyone wishing to recapture the spirit of those times, the following Ultima jacket with fleece lining (just the thing for the cold mornings) is available from me in a size 8. The badge on the front actually says "Save the World" and who can argue with that.

I'm pretty sure this is the correct thread for this question.
What sites, or shops do you use for the more avantgard items of clothing and or bicycle accessories?
Items that are of a more stylish nature rather than strictly fashionable.
I'm not just talking about expensive, tweed and vintage and certainly not Rapha, but items which have a certain design edge over those traditionally sourced in mainstream shops.

I have been finding cycling shops quite dull lately, economy of the industry is forcing big and small to become more generic or worse bad quality and cheap. 'Statement' items are even predictable, I have been looking for a commuting helmet (don't start! it's my right and after two bad falls in 3 weeks my oh is insisting), all I'm getting is mono coloured skating 'lids' with a manufacturer's name printed in some non descript font or road helmets. That's pretty much it in Ireland. You would imagine with the increase in all types of cycling more imaginative products would be available.

Anyway, rant over, where do the party bus population source their icons of awesomeness.

Any entightenment?

Have been recommended here before have some nice retro and plainer gear. Do like the look of it but think you need the right bike to go with it. Plan to build a more classic looking audux/tourer bike when I get the money together will probably pick up some bits then.

thebouldwhacker · 22-10-2013 11:07pm

I like this kind stuff too, not sure id purchase this particular item but I like the design

Christ on a bike that's terrible! It looks like something you'd make for your inter cert metalwork class! Go directly to party bus jail. Do not pass klodi and do not collect any party bus beer on the way!

Lusk_Doyle · 22-10-2013 11:29pm

After that last abomination this is more party bus like material...

Got wood?

What size is size 8? Small? It looks atrocious enough that I could troll another winter spin with it.

No you're thinking of a women's dress size 8 - and who could blame you:D
Its probably a large to XL. Was thinking of wearing it to the coffee stop on Sunday to shock you all!

RobFowl · 23-10-2013 12:03am

Thought this bike deserves to be here

thebouldwhacker · 23-10-2013 9:18am

That it?
Abuse for an intergrated brake, jerseys and a brush handle (nice jerseys and brush handle)?

I was expecting much more inspiration from the bus than simply pink.
