Dejavu from the Leopard jersey to be quite fair.

That's the joke...

It's definitely not the fm015. The thickness at the top of the seat stays and the head tube ridge are a dead giveaway.

My mistake. It's the fm028

Spinergy still makes those wheels?

Yup, there pretty good but a little heavy. The PBO spokes are bombproof, never had to true mine.

What do people think of Ben King's kit?

 

[US Patent Exploding Cyclist]

Better than Hincapie's. I'd like to see a bike and helmet to match though.

*facepalm*

The arrangement of elements on the jersey is a bit random. But still, any kit with black shorts is immediately and 110% superior to any kit with colored shorts. If you can't be designy, at least avoid the pajamas look.

Off pres is still on ...

Not road, and not a standard kit, I don't think, but awesome.

 

[uphillstruggle]

You can get it easily on the net.

Yeah that's a pedal force frame. They make the same frame for ribble too.

Oh wow. I love this kit. Who is it? What's the story behind it?

WHY ISN'T THERE ANY PLAID IN THE PELOTON!?!?

I'm heading over to that JV clinic thread to demand that he replace argyle with plaid.

The rider is Ben Berden, at the Superprestige Noordzeecross Middelkerke, listed as riding for the Qin team. Then the kit says Champion System. but doesn't look like any of that team's other kits. Soooo.... I don't have any explanation. Maybe someone else does?

Ben Berden is taking it up the a$$ in Belgium. He ironically fessed up to EPO when he failed a test a couple of years ago, but is still being forced to pay over 60,000 euros for the case. I assume these expenses (paying experts, the cost of tests, private investigations) were to prepare for the case. I think he could have served jail time too, but didn't get this as a penalty.

(is now basically a legionair like him down here.)

Luxembourg Cycling Federation (FSCL) formally asks LEOPARD TREK to change Fränk Schleck's jersey:

"Last week, Riccardo Scheidegger (one of LEOPARD TREK's managers), Fränk Schleck, as well as all the members of the FSCL executive committee have been informed of the federation's desire to change the design of the current national champion's jersey.

The same thing happened to Kim Kirchen, while riding for T-Mobile, and, more recently, for Columbia.

Since there are no international rules on this matter, the national federation has the right to add their input.

Fränk Schleck, on the other hand, had expressed how much he liked his new jersey: 'You can see the tricolore very well, but it also respects the design of our team. (...) I am very, very happy to wear this jersey.'"

http://www.lequotidien.lu/les-sports/20110.html


I think it is allowed by the UCI to change the design of a jersey during the season, High Road did it recently when they got Columbia on board before the Tour de France; and also later with Skype and HTC. I think it is only forbidden to change jerseys during a race, Milram and RadioShack made that experience.

It seems the design of the LEOPARD TREK jersey was such a well-kept secret that even the federation wasn't involved; otherwise they could have avoided all of this from the start (as I imagined it happened with Kim Kirchen).

Frank, here's a golden opportunity to get a decent jersey. Why say things like that?

Not even that. It's only forbidden to change jerseys without first clearing it. Saeco wore their Legalize My Cannondale prison stripes for a day in the 2004 Giro, and Pippo Pozzato changed his Italian champs' jersey about four times. On the other hand, QS weren't allowed their retro jersey for Flanders '09, nor were RadioShack allowed to pull their switcheroo.

Jersey designs can be changed forcibly if they do not meet with the regulations imposed upon them (this applies mostly to national and world champions' jerseys). Some are stricter than others. There are very tight rules on the World champion's jersey for example, but others are more flexible. Compare Joaquím Rodríguez, Rubén Plaza and José Iván Gutiérrez's Caisse d'Epargne Spanish jersey (clear from space that it's a Spanish national jersey)(and Florent Brard's Caisse d'Epargne French jersey) with Valverde's "just a bit of yellow here and there in the red bits" jersey, which was barely recognisable as any different to the normal Caisse kit, let alone a Spanish national jersey - but the Spanish authorities were fine with it. Fränk's jersey is similarly paying mere lip service to the Luxembourg national jersey, but in this case the national authorities have made a call on it.

Sky debut this kit

Jeeh was love at first site Beijing with this SKY Miss Dynamite [sharade.com]

This Three-time World Champion did hit out at Paris Hilton back in November, accusing Socialites like Paris Hilton for advertising a 'false world' to young girls. [http://dailymail.co.uk/starlet-slams.html]
