I don't know that there was any eschewing going on, I think people were just being practical, but what do I know - some people are silly. Anyway, I think that the vast majority of people that would buy stuff like this are also comfortable in spandex and on pavement.
...and now that I look at it, the white & black check "jersey" is starting to grow on me. Goodness, gracious.
Also, the wine-colored lettering on my Cervelo is making me consider all kinds of stuff that I wouldn't have given a second glance, prior. edit: what you do think? Maybe some moody pics on my Instgram in the future?

Bruh, the entire time I've watched football the Cowboys have been going to be great next year. Every year they have awesome talent. Every year they're going to dominate. And every year they're pretty much mid-pack at best with the occasion swift exit on wild-card weekend.
I do feel so bad for Dak though. He seems like genuinely a great kid and no one has a single bad word about him, ever. Hopefully he gets Cousined and gets to pick a decent franchise.

Band of Gypsys is the only Hendrix album I listen to anymore. There is some noise and distortion, however.

That's the thread, and I love that hoodie - just have to wait for a 40% off promo code. Not much else in their gravel collection appeals (I do like the look of the shorts, but at close to $200 and they have to go over bibs? Pass.), but I do really like some of their other stuff as I've poked around the site.

But no, the manufacturer of discussion is Cafe du Cycliste. Some of their stuff hits the right notes for me, some is a little too... free form jazz.

We might get a bunch tomorrow.
The club is supposed to have the year-end ride on Sat. At this point, it's the only day in the forecast that doesn't have snow or rain on the schedule, but that obviously might not hold and, even if it does, it still doesn't mean that it'll be pleasant cycling weather.
.... but maybe if I buy one of those lumberjack-lookin' cycling jackets...

Fashion is one thing, but the really dumb part is when these sensibilities fly in the face of tried and true function. You're going to wear jorts and a Camelback because you don't want to look like a roadie, eh? Good call.

And they answer, in unison, "YES, WE'RE ALL INDIVIDUALS!!!"

My response to that crowd is always "go swimming in your jorts or no sale".

Ha! Most of the people that I've come across wearing Rapha in the wild have worn it pretty well - at least reasonable cycling shape, didn't look like try-hards, etc, etc.
But no, the manufacturer of discussion is Cafe du Cycliste. Some of their stuff hits the right notes for me, some is a little too... free form jazz.
