Have looked at these and plumped for a lesso jacket as the father-in-law has been dipping his toe in the cycling water and wearing his golf gear!

Your just a few days behind the curve.
If you drop back a couple of pages to posts from and mentioning Culvers you'll find our opinions, for what they are worth.
Oh and given the choice within your perimeter inc Wiggle I'd take the Felt Z95 over the Mosser.
But that's just personal preference.
Post #9594 onwards.

I'll be interested what you think, Lusso are certainly two for two in Chez Stat.
It's odd how I consigned Lusso to history for no apparent reason.
Get the fook out of town, say it's not so.

An interesting conundrum.
But Hamilton in the World Champion's jersey?
I'm not having it.
Bold Seagull
strong and stable with me, or...
. He looked good in his Radioshack top, especially when we caught up with one of his team mates on The Long One!Pogue Mahone

When I did LEJOG, comfortable shorts were an absolute must. I wore Assos, and had no problems throughout the whole ten days.
One of the other guys wore Lusso shorts for one of the 'stages'. At the end of the day, in Peebles I think, he took off his shorts, walked like a cowboy and put them in the bin whilst shouting obscenities.
I won't be buying Lusso.
Now I'm a bit more awake.
I hope you don't think I was being rude, brushing your question off with a 'we've already covered that answer'.
But as you can see from #9594, and the subsequent replies, you and [MENTION=188]culvers[/MENTION] are pretty much identical, although it would seem you've started with a better bike!!.
I guarantee (unless you're really unlucky and ask 'where can I get a Team Sky jersey from') your next set of questions won't be replied to with a series of numbers.
'We covered your first point in #2804 & #3749, and your second point in #4173 & #12', won't happen, we are friendlier than that, honest.

And so little interest from the Dubai public. I have never seen so few people watching a race as yesterday. Also the smog over the city was pretty spectacular.
The coverage on Eurosport was a little dull too, not entirely their fault as Phinney went off before the cameras started rolling but still. The parcours for this Tour is a complete nonsense though, 10km time trial then three flat stages = Phinney has won it already.
What I did enjoy was the Eurosport commentators wondering why so many of the worlds top riders were riding in this Tour. It is probably the weather or something... ...definitely not the huge appearance fees or anything like that.

Hi Rookie, welcome onboard. As Stat said we have recently covered this subject, but a quick overview is, ride as many bikes as you can.
The Moser is nice, personally, I think it is better than the Felt as the wheels are better which is the main thing imo. Only problem with the Moser is you cannot try it, unless you are willing to travel to Bath as that is the only stockist I can find.
Good review of the Moser here and having seen that I take it all back. Those tubes are ugly!
Of the bikes that I briefly looked at on Wiggle at that price point the Felt is the nicest frame, Moser best wheels, Battaglin looked quite nice, though the wheels look cheap and the Mekk just a bit grim allround and the same goes for the GT.
As Stat always says when you ride the right bike you will know. So keep trying as many as you can and be prepared to spend a little more than you wanted to for THE bike. Finally, a little piece of advice that I found useful when I worked in a bike shop, buy the smallest bike that you can comfortably fit on, for some reason the male psyche always makes us think we are bigger than we are. My first bike purchase with my own money as a teenager was 58cm, which was clearly too big for me. Now fifteen years down the line my posh bike is 54cm, and I have certainly not shrunk. Interestingly the reverse is true for women, try explaining to a fitness freak, whip thin lady that she is in fact a Large, does not go down well at all.

I would just like to point out that I was rather more inspired by Cancellara than by Lance.
I agree. Retro stripes. Hmmmm. Oh good god. My card is out...

Don't do it, please. I can't believe we even have enablers on this thread. I'm gonna ask for the thread title to be changed to Cycling JCLs

Ok. You've got there in time.
I know the velo rule. Thank you. I will adhere.
Please don't hate me. I grew up in the Chopper and Grifter generation. True cycling was denied me.
As a yoof in the 90's I was a bit of a full pro kit w*****. I couldn't afford a full pro kit though
RMO, Z-Peugeot, Helvitia, Ariostea are the ones I can remember having.
It was tricky to get hold of in those days - mail order via a cycling weekly Geoffrey Butler Ad seemed to be the best bet!

I've a Nailini 'Fassa Bortolo' top from late 90s or early 00s. It's mint as I've only worn it a few times.
Do you lot do team kits?
Exactamondo.
Basically for £500 you have to compromise.
P's right when he says the last place you do that is the wheels.
But I'd still take the Felt

I couldn't just flat out say NO, t'is his money and a nice jersey.
I still maintain it's preferable to Radioshack, but that says more about RS than a potential World Champion in our mists.
Anyway [MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION] knew the answer before he asked the question!!
I did try and steer him towards the classic chequed Peugeot, that deserves a point or two in my favour.
Yeah. Should be a good early-season tear up in a minute
