I think this has more to do with sleeveless MTB'rs than multisport
folks. One of the guys involved with the ACA rule book also promoted a
Tuesday night series race series that would attract a diverse and
occasionally sleeveless clientele. Being a lawyer in real life and a
stickler for rules he would have to turn the sleeve deprived away
until the rule was changed.

Speaking of multisport folks, I was recently riding in Tuscany with a
former Hawaii Ironman winner (SM) and the guy has a beer at every rest
stop. He would order a beer and then the Italians would assume that I
wanted one too which wasn't far wrong. One day we rode a very hilly
100 miles from one hotel to another and there was no food available
when we arrived. Each room had a complimentary bottle of white wine in
the refrigerator and we had drunk our two bottles before anyone else
arrived. What I'm saying is that you may have more in common with
multisport than you realize.

For racing, by definition the best company is the one that produces
your team kit, and since changing suppliers is enough of a PITA
(not unlike our supplier's shorts BTW), you are most likely stuck with
whatever somebody chose way back when...

(Me, I like Giordana, but I couldn't possibly tell if it's just the
clothes or that subtle product placement on "Friends" aeons ago.)

You're a worse snob than the OP, Rico. What sort of a name is Rico

Hey! I take exception to that! At no point did the OP come across as
a snob. A rube, a newb and a ****, sure, but never a snob.

You're named after carpet padding, so you shouldn't be bringing the
smack on names.

All kinds of stuff and places are named for members of my family; it
happens when you've been around a while: look up the Angles, the
Saxons and the Jutes. LOL. -- AJ

Clearly your friend has recovered from his previous folly. Also, one
swallow does not a Summer make, and beer goes as well with swimming as
knees do with jogging.

Dear Crossposting Madone Maroon,

There are many shirts. This one may not be the best,
but it's a good start:

http://www.tobi.com/product/9423-helmut-lang-stretch-poplin-dress-shirt-button-down-shirts-solid

For those of you who prefer basic black, perhaps:

http://shop.doverstreetmarket.com/product_info.php?products_id=867

You're in luck, both are in stock in XL. But no XXL,
sorry. For more ideas, perhaps try doing a little bit
of your own research. I suggest a daily visit to

Now I'm torn.

As a typical fatty master, the XXXL size is important. From a
spectators' point of view, if nothing else. So the bikingthings jersey
might be a good thing.

On the other hand, the XXXL size would mean that I'd be paying less per
square cm of material. THAT'S sure to slow me down. So the bikingthings
jersey would be a BAD thing.

I need to find a place that will sell me one at an especially high price.

I'm interested in the replies. I would add one constraint: it can't
look silly! I have to be able to wear it into lecture without feeling
like my students are all laughing at me.

You must be new to the world of the Beau Brummels. Fashion is
_supposed_ to look silly. People are _supposed_ to laugh and point at
you. How else would you know they're watching?

Once you get over your shyness about fashionable shirts, you should,
ahem, branch out into fashionable trousers and pants. Here is one
bloke that would be quick on the poke due to his very fashionable
leggings.

The best material I have used is Coolmax. I typically just wear Coolmax
t-shirts. I have a drawer full of conventional jerseys that I stopped
wearing long ago. Coolmax t's used to be available for $10 or so, but
they last so long I haven't bought any new ones in years. I found a
Coolmax polo shirt at an outdoor store, looks like any other polo shirt
but doesn't get soggy like cotton ones.
