The Origin of the Coolest Jersey EVER!

[Old Ned]

Alf looked a bit "Mondrian" at times

Is this one of your photos Shaun or did you find it elsewhere? One of the few with Alf in full flight on the Speed Machine. I'm sure I read that if he braked hard with the front brake the wheel rubbed on the down tube!

All getting a bit off topic I'm afraid................................... :xmas-wink:

Re: Re:

For those that are interested there is a good article on Alf and the speed machine, not much to do with the best ever jersey though......

If you ever get the chance to hear Alf talk about his cycling career (and clashes with the authorities) grab it, very entertaining man!

Re: Re:

And there was me expecting this to be a thread about Hinault's Renault-Elf jersey

You're not far wrong as the actual greatest design came from the Renault Elf team. Of course, I'm talking about this one:

I usually agree with you Mr Bodie but this time you only identified the second greatest design, and that's a scientific fact!

Put em up, put em up!!



Yeah, the Systeme U jersey's pretty cool, I have to admit but the 1986 TdF La Vie Claire jersey really is the top dog in my opinion . .I have only ever seen one for sale and the seller wanted a fortune for it!

Re:

Your taste is impeccable Craig, except in this instance.
1989's Super U jersey is THE ONE, you are so right Monsieur Pionir!

I also think an honourable mention should go to PDM...

Re:

1980's hair, Fignon's pudding basin cut, the Badger's all black badger, we should be talking about this!
