To follow on from the black wool trisuit - You should reaslly use that wool that itches like a bitch as it will make you faster. You wont be able to slow as you will want to get it off!! Now thats the pure tri way!
E mail from British Triathlon this mornin..'England is red'....so no medals for us in 2012 then...black & woolly is the way to go, I shall e mail them immediately, implore them to cancel the sponsorship with Adidas & start negotiations with Sirdar knitting patterns.
@Zacnici: really, did you have to post a picture? There is only one bike you could possibly have been talking about in that colour scheme. Nice ride. Apart from the colour.
@Tri~Dwarf: don't take all your red kit back: give it to your Granny so she can use it as patterns for all your britspin-special black knitted stuff.
oh... hang on.... I've spotted britspin's plan: At the next Tri we will all be drowning in our baggy water-filled itchy wool tri-suits while he sprints off into the distance in his glorious red carbon hot pants, sliding over his porridge-powered shaved legs.
He'll probably have his aero hat on backwards, though.
Did I get enough forum ideas in that post, or did I miss some???? Over to benny.
This Black woolen tri suit in the itchy wool will get bleached by the chlorine. So if Scott the pink had a red one to start off with he would end up pink after the swim!!!
Am I thinking to much here!

I wondered what the itching was...I thought it was the chlorine leaking out of my skin, but no it's the woolly tri suit.
Oh yeah forgot to mention - the handlebars slipped just as I was coming out of T1 hence the rather low hand position. Repeat daily...I must check my bike before each ride...I must check my bike before each ride...I must check my....
I'm a black kit blue bike kinda guy but I think i'll be going for bright [color="#ccff00"]yellow this season, cos I cant really think of another popular Tri color if only there was a thread or two discussing colours eh!!!!
Lots of interest in red I see - I kind of stay away from red - it makes you look faster but unfortunately doesn't make me faster - I was thinking more black and blue - only bit of red on my bike is the back light - I do have red and white runners though. Having said that I do beleive my Tri shorts contain some red white and blue .... ahh decisions on colours I usually leave that to the misses

Black woollen, black woollen.

Did I mention RED1
"White winning Colour": 12,100,000 hits
"Black winning Colour": 7,500,000 hits
"Red Winning Colour": 6,400,000 hits
"Green Winning Colour": 5,410,000 hits
"Blue Winning Colour": 4,630,000 hits
"Orange Winning Colour": 1,920,00 hits.
So there you have it.
There has also been some research into football teams, and, apparently, those in Red do best: (Man U, Liverpool, England in 1066 or whenever it was).
EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
