Mismatched kit?

[busted_stuff]

Saw a couple of guys heading down Victorian Road in Gladesville the other day - in full Lampre kit.

But... they were riding what looked like Sky's Pinarellos. Two guys with plenty of money and confused allegiances, or Pros sharing bikes?

What's wrong with that? Just because a guy rides a sky pinarello doesn't mean he can only wear the same kit
unless he's sponsored by the team.
Do you ride avanti and only buy avanti kits?

I'm a cheapskate and wear Cell kit but I don't ride a Cell bike...

So. How pedantic are you ? Mis-aligned valves bother you too ?

Don't think its a big deal. After all, most of us are amateurs and can wear what we want, unlike the pros who are locked into contracts.

please consult The Rules

Not pedantic at all... well, not too much and I thought someone might invoke The Rules.

No, what I meant was, from my quick view, I was pretty sure these were real Lampre guys out here for TDU. Hence the ? over their bikes.

Of course I don't care if my kit and bike match! Shoot me down, I don't care, but thought folks might be interested.

Victoria Rd Gladesville, Sydney?

Nope TDU participants would be riding in Adelaide I would expect, not Sydney.

Please see the rules

Rule #17 / Team kit is for members of the team.
Wearing Pro team kit is also questionable if you’re not paid to wear it. If you must fly the colors of Pro teams, all garments should match perfectly, i.e no Mapei jersey with Kelme shorts and Telekom socks.

Pro teams change sponsors all the time. Big deal.

I sometimes wear EuropeCar bib knicks with a Lampre top, Radio Shack socks, FDJ gloves and a Rabobank helmet. I ride a T-Mobile Giant replica. Is that okay?

[ratter]

I've worn my Around the bay in a day top while not doing ATBD

[Marx]

Matching gear should only be worn while racing.
All other times it comes across as pretty pratty really.

If you can help it, you should mix your gear for training rides. Abit like getting married: something old, some thing new, something borrowed (but never returned), and something Mapei ….


*Disclaimer: We are talking about riders who pay retail for riding apparrel.

Am I breaking the rules if I'm wearing Nike shorts and a Reebok t-shirt on my Merida bike ?

Only if you send love letters regular like to Tommy, Damo, LA, Sandy, Matti and Jan .

[uncle arthur]

Would you wear a maroons jersey with blues shorts?

Would you wear a Collingwood jersey with Hawthorne shorts and Essendon socks?

I dare say the answer to the above is no. So it is just as wrong to wear mismatched kit.

Please consult the rules, as they have been posted

I once saw a couple at a Wallabies-AllBlacks match. She was in full AB gear. He in Wallabies gear. They were holding hands.

[blossy84]

I went to Wallabies v Ireland game a few years back. I wore a Wallabies jumper and a IRFU beanie.

[Mulger bill]

I wouldn't wear a Collingwood guernsey at gunpoint.

A mans gotta have some self respect...

I've had a Milram jersey for years, i've ridden probably 15 different bikes while wearing it and none of them were a Colnago . In a perfect world (where we all had lots of money) sure match the heck out of everything, but i don't think it matters.
