I also need a new lid.  This lazer looks like a good option but will hold out til Eloy announces the group order.  Im also partial to a white helmet so will look at the poc that Connor posted (how’d u get that discount?)

Luke, Embrace the Orange.
BACK IN MY DAY WEARING AN ORANGE HELMET MEANT YOU MADE IT AND WHITE HELMETS WERE FOR NOOBZ. HOW ELSE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO SEPARATE THE POSERS FROM THE REAL RACERS?

I'M NOT SHOUTING YOU'RE SHOUTING.
Not a lot yet, but a little more info on 2020 helmets on the Sponsorship thread.

If anyone has a long-sleeve winter-ish jersey in large + race colors they wouldn't mind parting with, I'd be down to buy it from you. I'm thinking ahead to the 14th / L&C park race and all I have is a short sleeve jersey.
@TommyYork I have a sized L fleece lined long sleeve you can have. 
@Phil Maronilla dope, perfect. thank you!
I'm an idiot and missed the last kit order. Does anyone Wana sell some old small or extra small kit? I will be willing to give money. Beers and even a Coors light cap for you troubles
@cpulvidente I’ll lend you my large kit. Just wear 4-6 layers beneath it and you’ll be super aero
If anyone has a large wind breaking vest they wanna part with, lemme know.

I probably have old med and small jerseys and older no-pockets skinsuit for racing somewhere. DM if interested.
I have a question for the folks who know best about looking sharp and what is cool on the bike. In the world of the ‘Rona do the mask straps go over the helmet straps like the sunglass arms or does it all go under the helmet straps?

i fear I may have presented a faux-pas by wearing my face cover under the hemet straps this afternoon. 



it’s typically worn over, so it’s possible to pull down, up, adjust, etc... but in this case the straps might keep it tight in place, which is what we want. you doing good. looking sharp.

Did Rapha discontinue their "deep winter" line of tights?
Not sure but I have 2 pairs of the Pro Team Winter tights (I & II) which are excellent;

Speaking of Rapha.. something looks familiar.





Not gonna lie, that is - as the kids say - fire.

Sadly it will cost $400 and I will never be able keep it clean.

I like the kit quite a lot. Looks fun. 

Not planing on becoming an RCC though just to buy their “exclusive” clothing.
Adding this to the discussion...

While I generally don't wear skin suits outside of racing, I know that the meshy ones I have are great for hot weather.  And, because "saving" a skin suit when the 2020 season isn't going to happen, I've been wearing my Apex summer race suit on my long Sunday rides these past three or four weeks.

It's awesome.  So. Much. Mesh.  The only thing is you need to sunscreen shoulders (mesh sleeves), neck (no collar) and both the left and right side of your back, as the solid back panel doesn't cove all of your back. 

Over the years, my tan lines have gotten weirder.  At least the cut-out oval tan line and dots due to cotton-crochet gloves is gone.
