My ridiculous team kit

Yesterday evening I went for my first post-injury ride, rain and all. As I was getting dressed in full orange-and-black glory it occurred to me that I wear a very expensive team kit. Let's see (MSRP in brackets):

Spiuk Nexion helmet ($140)

Spiuk Ventix multi-lens sunglasses, Euskaltel's custom design ($115)



Ibex Fausto jersey ($125)


Ibex El Fito knickers ($120)


DeFeet Levitator Lite Wool socks ($10)


Craft gloves ($33)


Total: $543.
The only part of my kit that is cheap and doesn't match the team colors are my shoes (and old pair of red Nikes). I gotta work on that.
