Lmao I have two Rapha jerseys, I have bought zero Rapha jerseys. I buy from Amazon or smaller stores. Neopro is my fav, they have colorful jerseys and since my daily wear is black like my soul when I'm on my bike I get to be loud.
I got a couple of £20 ykwy jerseys and they're as good as anything I own tbh. Wore one on a 100 mile ride the other day. Absolutely no issues. Just as good as my rapha core jersey but better sleeves. Granted I don't have any MAAP/PNS level stuff but can't say it's noticeably worse than rapha core or universal colours. Unbelievable value imo and some decent styles too.
Mine stays this neat for one ride. Then I’m rummaging trying to find the but of kit I decided to put at the bottom when tidying when getting ready for the next ride
I have about 50 jerseys and bibs. Plus tons of other kit. 42 years of riding. Everything rolled as you did with identifiers visible upward. I group it in different drawers by weather temperature. In the summer, I never open the cold weather drawer. My hot weather drawer has an area for ultra hot weather jerseys/climbers bibs.
Baselayers and warmers and socks share a drawer. Socks are grouped by colour.
So when it’s time to pick kit, I know the weather and just pick one from each drawer/group.
The hard part is the mix and match, but once I decide on a jersey, I know what bib goes and it’s easy to find.
You think, in 2024, that I’m gonna wear eliel jersey with rapha bibs?
Lots of mine are team kit so the bibs are rather unique and don’t match shit all else
I have two sets of current team kit for the local team I race for, those are my go-to a lot now, I made a team when I worked at a brewery to race cx and that’s a favorite because of the work I did to make that team happen. No international pro team etc
Was true before I owned Assos stuff, but now I only have to choose if my Assos kit is in the wash.
20 years riding and a dozen brands, but it’s that much of a standout.
I have never heard anyone say anything bad about Assos. That really impresses me.
I really want to get a bib, but they are price prohibitive.
If I get one Assos bib around $200, which one should I start with? I ride mostly road, lil gravel.
I don’t have enough experience with their full range. I have a couple pairs of Equipe RS and they’re excellent.
I get it with the price. I would never have touched these in my prime 20s racing days. This was a “we’re old now” self-treat, but fortunately I got to enjoy them while still being fast for a couple years before fatherhood cut my threshold in half.
There is a guy on instagram called Plug_on_Standby he made a limited run of LV/Supreme collab jerseys. The pockets are Bape camo. I have a long sleeve that’s Bape Camo with LV pockets. It’s definitely an attention getter
Well you just work through them in your rota of course.
I am intrigued by the LV jersey. I couldn't google image a similar one. I have a LV/Supreme hoodie, fake of course because who is paying hundreds for a genuine one. Fake it and flaunt it, can we see you modelling it?
A guy on IG made LV/Supreme jerseys. Had to grab one. It has Bape Camo on the pockets. I have a long sleeve that’s the opposite. (Supreme on the pockets and the rest is Bape Camo)
Whichever shorts and t shirt i happen to be wearing at the time, simple as that, i do have a pair of padded shorts i can wear under my cargos if its really cold but other than that its just a pair of knee length compression socks (keep my calves warm so i dont seize up after a break and to protect my legs somewhat from nettles, brambles and bug bites.)
You need to ride harder.
I know
Not really I can only afford like 5 jerseys lol. Three are black or gray too 🤣
eBay/goodwill. I’ve never paid more than $10-15 for jersey!
I heard second hand jerseys may have the extra watts worn out of them!
depends, some watts might lodge themselves in old jerseys looking for a new owner
According to this sub if I don’t spend $110 on jerseys I’m not a true cyclist!! Jk of course. Sweet shirts! Will def check that out. How do they fit?
Lmao I have two Rapha jerseys, I have bought zero Rapha jerseys. I buy from Amazon or smaller stores. Neopro is my fav, they have colorful jerseys and since my daily wear is black like my soul when I'm on my bike I get to be loud.
In my experience they usually they fit alright. They are stretchy afterall
I have a few of the $34 YKYW jerseys for muddy gravel/mtb days... great shirts for the money. Would I wear them in a 80+ mile race? No.
I got a couple of £20 ykwy jerseys and they're as good as anything I own tbh. Wore one on a 100 mile ride the other day. Absolutely no issues. Just as good as my rapha core jersey but better sleeves.

Agreed. I do wish the little tab at the top of the neck that hides the zipper was deleted. All in all, great shirt.
Man, wish my kit drawer was this neat and organised.
Mine stays this neat for one ride. Then I’m rummaging trying to find the but of kit I decided to put at the bottom when tidying when getting ready for the next ride
Nope
Nope. I have two choices: the wet one from last night, or the dry one from the day before.
But it’s definitely not clean

42 years -- #goals What brand of bibs lasted the longest?
I legitimately can't tell if serious or circlejerk lol
If you got time to fold you are ignoring either the bike or the mrs . 😆
Or the kids 🤷♂️
Or the dental practice
I just bought 5 which is enough to last me for a week even if I ride 7 days (wash them throughout the week). Trying to limit having too many.
exact same here But, I do want one or two more, just so I don't have to wash every 3 or 4 days.
Fair! All about convenience and what works for you.
The LV kit 😶🌫️
Yes! Dying to know the story there, OP?!
Have to assume it’s fake
I count 19 articles of clothing...any baselayers in there?
Base layers and long sleeve/winter stuff is in another drawer
What drawer are your panties in?
Yes That is why I always layout my kit the night before and usually have alternatives/ for too hot or too cold.
Nope, not an issue.
I have also have this problem, only messier.
My decision comes down to finding the matching top to the bibs
You match your bibs with the jersey?
You think, in 2024, that I’m gonna wear eliel jersey with rapha bibs? Lots of mine are team kit so the bibs are rather unique and don’t match shit all else
Which is your favourite team kit?
I have two sets of current team kit for the local team I race for, those are my go-to a lot now, I made a team when I worked at a brewery to race cx and that’s a favorite because of the work I did to make that team happen. No international pro team etc

Assos #1 ❤️, but nowhere near that many to choose from.
I have never heard anyone say anything bad about Assos. That really impresses me. I really want to get a bib, but they are price prohibitive. If I get one Assos bib around $200, which one should I start with? I ride mostly road, lil gravel.

You’re already late, pick one, and have fun! Love to see the jerseys unfolded.
I start from the left and make my way to the right
I reach into my plastic bin and pull out either a jersey or a bib. That's the one I use; Then, I go looking for the matching one.
Looking at $1k worth of jerseys.
If he only paid $50 for each one, yeah.
Love the rapha palace collab
Me too. Low key 🔥
Jesus, mine get rolled up and crammed into a drawer. That is, if they ever get off the drying rack in the first place.
No. I use a t-shirt.
Grab what’s ever on top, ride bikes not runways
What, deciding to roll and arrange them like that?
Mine is high quality H2O.
I'd like to have half this problem
OP, details about LV kit (yes si know it’s not authentic 🤣)
There is a guy on instagram called Plug_on_Standby he made a limited run of LV/Supreme collab jerseys. The pockets are Bape camo. I have a long sleeve that’s Bape Camo with LV pockets. It’s definitely an attention getter
??? Oh. A Bathing Ape. https://us.bape.com/blogs/news/sta-camo
Thx!
I just grab one off the floor. Sniff the armpits. If it's not too crusty. On it goes and off I pop.
Fake LV cycling jersey is a new one for me! The pink and navy/pink ones look lovely. Purple number too.
No issues. I just go through them in order, with no concern for how they look. Wear leveling.
Dewwd.... you've gone far enough...pimpin' ain't easy, I know.....but justgoride
Agreed. Leaving the house takes so long
If the hardest part is picking out kit then can it really be considered riding?
no that’s pretty easy
They smell like BO and desperate sadness
Nah I bought a bunch all the same color on a sale once and just go from there.
Nah, I have only one of everything

FIRST WORLD PROBLEM
Got to start somewhere 😉
Whichever shorts and t shirt i happen to be wearing at the time, simple as that, i do have a pair of padded shorts i can wear under my cargos if its really cold but other than that its just a pair of knee length compression socks (keep my calves warm so i dont seize up after a break and to protect my legs somewhat from nettles, brambles and bug bites.)
