    Those are not the legs of a Fred.

    in fact, I'd probably give up a testicle to have legs like that

    Nobody said he was a Fred, just that he looked like one.

    On his right arm.

    I've got one the Nike "Livestrong" jerseys (not that one in the photo!!) - a black one with some khaki green numbers - "10/12" which has something to do with his cancer diagnosis.

    Not bad in terms of quality - plus I like the fairly under-stated design.

    Is it just me or does Armstrong look a bit like a fred who has picked bits of bikes and equipment out of a skip?

    I understand he is trying to promote Livestrong but would he not smarter in the Astana standard issue gear with a few Livestrong stickers etc strategically placed?

    black socks = bad

    I hope that "Live clean" chap makes an appearance at the Giro, heck I'd pay for his plane ticket to see him run alongside Lance again!

    Or maybe some enterprising Irish people could do a bit of road painting.

    Are there any hotels in Kimmage that he could be made use as his base?
    Or else they should temporarily 'twin' all the towns enroute with Kimmage :D

    It depends. I always tought so, but I have a pair of black (and pink) rapha winter socks. THey go very well with 3/4 length sorts, but look horrible with standard shorts.
    However, white socks look horrible with 3/4 length shorts, but look normal with ordinary shorts.
    Lances look is wrong on that basis.

    I do like the mellow jonny's jersey however.
    I did like Lances bike, but it doesnt look great in the picture with him on it.

    LOL! It's a very complicated business isn't it. Tall + thin people can get away with black socks but for short people (like me) they make you look like you have v.short legs. ok tall skinny people can wear pretty much anything anyway, feckers
