Would I look a complete tool in a Keirin jersey?

I thought about getting one of these but i'm worried I'll look a complete dick. It's a step too far, it's jumping the fixed shark, no? http://njs-keirin.blogspot.com/2007/11/clothes.html

i prefer the blue.... actually i've just spoken to my gf about it, she just phoned to ask when i was coming home from the tinternet cafe, she's said 'get one, i think you'd lovely baby'.
definitely NOT getting one now. I have been down this route, it is a tortuous road, one that always ends in tears. gf dressing you is a pain.
the blue one is nice though. mind you i get enough grief off 'workmen' for having a pink bike, looking like a jockey may be a step too far.

they look pretty sweet, although they are second hand and pretty pricey...

This is coming from a man who has worn his girlfriends translucent net black top, short skirt and make up.


Do it. You will never feel so free.

Buy it but it is probably wise to make sure that you have an idea of whatever the Japanese writing on it says first.

Wouldn't want to be cycling along and have a group of Japanese bankers laughing at you as you speed past.

The red and the blue can be found in the bathroom at Kowalski Towers.

Got them off eBay for rather less than that.

And some supremely groovey Keirinman fridge magnets.

If you're so worried about what everyone else will think that you post to the forum to check that it's acceptable why don't you just stay safe and where what everyone else does......or alternatively wait 'til someone else buys one and simply "copy" them.

Tofu used to wear one....opinions on him and his attire vary.
