at "slightly used" and "padding is present"

southeastastra · 08/11/2007 14:41

!! what has he got in there!?

ChippyMinton · 08/11/2007 14:43

a couple of portions of energy-giving fruit?

southeastastra · 08/11/2007 14:45

i'm strangely drawn to the last picture where he's squatting slightly

gizmo · 08/11/2007 14:46

Looks like he's drunk too many energy gels, doesn't it, SEA?

southeastastra · 08/11/2007 14:48

it does, i'm watching it so dp will have a shock when he checks at work

SmartArse · 08/11/2007 14:48

Oh God, exactly the sort of thing my DH would buy and WEAR! He has a whole selection of comedy cycling jerseys so is just one step away from some peculiar all-in-one lycra babygrow thing.

gizmo · 08/11/2007 14:49

It's a not uncommon look for cyclists around here. Although unfortunately few of them look as, ahem, entertaining, as this gentleman.

SmartArse · 08/11/2007 15:45

Oh, my DH is very entertaining indeed in his cycling outfits - or so he thinks.

Poor DD2 was MORTIFIED when he turned up at Parents' Evening, straight off his bike, all sweaty and 'orrible and wearing a Popeye cycling jersey.

Well that's xmas sorted then

Have to say I am rather suspicious of people who look up spandex on ebay

Tatties · 08/11/2007 15:49

I have to show that to dp

LOL

southeastastra · 08/11/2007 17:20

dp has told everyone that's what he's getting for christmas. everyone is rofl

dexter73 · 08/11/2007 20:33

Do you think it's real?
In the bottom photo it looks like its in the wrong place - like someone has been playing pin the tail on the donkey and got it a bit wrong!

southeastastra · 08/11/2007 20:36

i dunno, he's spanish isn't he

dexter73 · 08/11/2007 20:42

Are theirs in a different place then?

How very disappointing. I can't see the pictures.
Is it reminiscent of the Italian rowing team at the Olympics about 10 years ago when they were wearing white shorts and stood for the medal ceremony?? That was a site to behold

Tatties · 08/11/2007 20:44

I showed dp and he said, "so that's what you do all day"

southeastastra · 08/11/2007 20:44

seem to be

nah it's not real, unless he has done some serious adjusting

VanillaPumpkin · 08/11/2007 21:02

Ahem, I meant sight to behold.
Anyway it has uploaded now (I am a saddo) and it is a bit odd isn't it??

fullmoonfiend · 08/11/2007 21:08

496 viewings - and they're all Mnetters

kittyletteItBe · 08/11/2007 21:19

OK, own up ... who's bid??

gizmo · 08/11/2007 21:20

Actually FMF, some of them are from the Runnersworld forum. Even there, where lycra is considered normal casual wear, there have been some raised eyebrows...

VanillaPumpkin · 08/11/2007 21:24

PMSL at Lycra as normal casual wear. My DH is a PTI and I have a washing machine full of the stuff most of the time and think he would raise an eyebrow too.

gizmo · 08/11/2007 21:25

There were some mutterings that he might be a biathlete...

fullmoonfiend · 08/11/2007 21:25

It won't let me see the photos
