K13LCC, there's so much divided opinion about team/pro kit wearing I'd do whatever you want, just don't expect anyone to take you seriously if wearing it! Least of all yourself
I've looked at these before. Providing they're 'Rapha Quality' it'd be an easy way to own Rapha bib-shorts without spending £160+. I'd certainly try them before spending £100+ on another brand (Castelli etc). But branded black shorts are less in your face than a jersey, especially if not worn with matching team jersey!
My main bike is a Ribble gran Fondo. It makes sense what you're saying....I just know that if I do that, my wife is going to complain when I turn around and tell her I'm buying Di2 for that frame I bought earlier in the year. "Why do you need that? Didn't you spend lots of money on the current things that make the chain move up and down?" Plus, I kinda wanted to go the disc brake route which makes a complete purchase much more ideal for me.
), but having a wife means my budget cannot be spent solely on bikes . I mean, for the first time ever last year, I spent more on a car then I have on a bike!
