Jan and Klödi's Party Bus

Raam

To discuss items of a party bus nature...

FITE!

ROK ON

Often times when I lounge around cafes quitting an espresso post cycle other gentlemen become hostile at my natural pose.
I think they are jealous at my Lycra clad mass of manliness. Ladies do not seem to have such an issue but this can prove embarrassing as I am married.

Do you have any advice for the cyclists with such a dilemma - it is most disconcerting? Should I try a different pose?

Chips Lovell

It's their problem, not yours

Raam

I'd like to know if it's deemed acceptable to wear Assos shorts with a Rapha jersey.

Darkglasses

Grow to love it. Does it bother Jan and Klodi? Not remotely.

I suspect that you know the answer to that. A fully meaning of matching kit surely extend to the kit brand as well as colour.

Do you think I could start a trend of wearing stripey socks with skinsuits?

I insist on it. Huge fan of stripey socks. Must be cycling socks, obviously.

You do know that from next year on, you'll be docked points for sartorial trolling?

Raam

Consider the alternatives.

If you wear Assos shorts with an Assos jersey, you'll be that person.
If you wear Rapha shorts with a Rapha jersey, you'll be that person*.

I think a mix and match of obscenely expensive lycra is the least worst option.

(* I think you might be that person already)

AstraMonti

As long as the socks are in the correct height you 'll be fine.

Ah thus is all ****ed up.We have 2 broomwagons and now Raam is asking for clothing advice.
Someone take me back to the real world .

Raam

I'm asking for etiquette advice.

Help me Klodi! I am paralysed by a seasonal sartorial conundrum.

What is the minimum acceptable length of shaved and tanned calf that must separate my tall socks from my knee warmers? With certain combinations of attire (Assos socks and Specialised knee-warmers - have I already sinned?) there is as little as a single centimetre to prove my shaven roadworthiness. Is this enough?

You're in dangerous territory having long socks at all. Even this is too long.

What kind of Pippo-forsaken situation have you gotten yourself in to?
Just wear leg-warmers.

They're not long, they're tall. Please surrender your avatar.

Chips Lovell

Where can I buy these jeans?

Raam

I thought we already found them on H&M or something.

Chips Lovell

Crap. I should have saved the link.

This thread is for people who are curious about bikes. Or the 'bi-curious' as they are sometimes called.

So winter is imminent. If I train in shorts with knee warmers and wear overshoes in fine, low angle winter sun, so common through the several parts of Europe I intend on training in, is it encouraged to have a tan line that reflects this? Is a tan that goes from top of overshoe to bottom of knee warmer, taking in a portion of the calf, acceptable?

Chips Lovell

Yes. Any tanline generated by actual cycling should be sported with pride.

Good job that didnt exist this year - he'd never have been allowed race.

Given low winter sun is it permissible to wear the peak of ones casquette in the unorthodox down position?

Surely the answer is outrageously stylish eyewear?

Chips Lovell

Selev Mask sunglasses. Yes or no?

It should be illegal to NOT wear them. God, they're good...

Like the Brikos that Robert Millar used to wear?

It is acceptable for soigneurs to be sent out to bring back groupies to our bus. It is also permissible to leave the bus to go to a nightclub and come back with groupies at 4am.

But lads, please no gawping out the windows at random pretty women, that just smacks of desperation.

Raam

Yeah, less pics of nudey women and more of pro cyclists in homo-erotic poses please.

Disgraceful picture, for a pic like that to make it into this thread the subjects should at least have taken care of their leg hair, no excuse for letting standards drop.
