  1. I was in the park yesterday afternoon. Training, minding my own business (I was wearing Cipollini's World Champion kit) I didn't use the Rudy Project world champ glasses as I thought might be over the top.

    AnywayI had 2 guys ride up to me and tell me that I might want to wear something else next time as there is a vet world champ who trains there on a tuesday and thursday.

    They pointed out to me that it is a little insulting to someone who earned the rainbow jersey, for someone who bought it to wear it! Hey I reckon stiff S#$T! I will wear what I like. It is not a race, training in the park so I can wear what I like.

    They weren't too happy about my opinion. Why is there such a big fuss about a Jersey! If this is the case then why do manufactures sell these items? I have 2 sets, one I wear, and one I have kept int he plastic as I collect limited editon cycling kits.

    I don't wear the white world champ kit too often as the white lycra gets see through when it gets wet!

    🙄

  2. Act like Super Mario would ... tell them to get stuffed and mind their own business ...

    Unless it's uphill, then Super Mario bursts into tears, gets all Italian, packs it in, goes home and
    complains he never gets asked to the TdF.............

    Wear what you like. Manufacturers make them just for guys like you. I would suggest this would make
    an excellent jersey to race in. Wear it at your next race and everybody will be jealous

  6. Unless the other guy is actually Mario himself - doesn't that make those guys slightly hypocritical?

    Wear it with pride.

    My wife wants a US Postal kit, she's no Lance (I found that out on our wedding night:eek: 🙄 😄 ). Maybe I should just get her a Huffy/Kmart kit instead? No toes to step on there....

  7. Wear what you like, (As long as it's not his normal zebra sapone strip) just be prepared to put up
    with the insults. The big fuss is that there is only 1 person in the world who can wear that strip
    and it is not you....Better still, go OS and race/train in that strip and see what happens. You will
    not get a start in an Open RR wearing a rainbow jersey unless you won it.

    I think it more accurate to say that only one person has "earned" it.

    Besides, this business that it's wrong to wear jerseys that haven't been earned is just way too
    gauche; go to Centennial Park on any given day and see how many people are riding around, free
    of insult, wearing trade team jerseys they haven't "earned", including KOM and Sprint jerseys
    from the TdF.

    I once read a story on rec.bicycling.racing about a guy who raced in a criterium in the US, wearing
    a brand-new USPS jersey.......much to his unfortunate embarrassment he had to line-up next to George
    Hincapie at the start, who was wearing the same jersey. George merely smiled at the guy, and
    complimented him on his good taste.

    Mark can you please not link me to this person!
    I am seeking action against Super Mario at this point in time!!!!!

    No I'm not this fool SUPER MARIO!

    I would appreciate if you could remove me from being associated with him. I have never met this person. If this is some sort of joke, then it is not very funny.

    Can my homepage be removed from this forum? I just had a friend ring me and tell me that my homepage has just been linked to this!

    I do not, and will not race and behave like this person says! I do not condone any of the staements he makes. I do however have mario's world champion kit.

    I am now considering taking action against my name being used in conjunction with this issue

    I am a member of the club Marconi. I have never raced the way he has said. I have only won 1 race this year. I have been racing A grade for the past month and have gotten droped every time! I am enjoying myself racing. I would rather get droped trying to win a race than race the way this person does! This person is a coward.

    I have enterd 4 opens, all in the Elite catagory! None of this E grade [censored]!

    I would like to see this person banned from the site!

  11. Yeh, why not buy an Olympic gold medal and wear it around your neck. Or perhaps buy some of those
    fake military medallions and march on Anzac day with the real ex service men who have the real
    medallions.

    But then again we all wear team gear but non of us are member of a pro team.

    I personally would not wear rainbow, polka dot, green or yellow jersey because I haven't earned
    either of them. But I do wear team gear. Hypocrisy? I don't know but that is where I drew the line.
