Palace thread

It’s just stickers on a system six.

The kit is rough.

Oh yeah the forks look to be painted.

The other kit is actually alright I hadn’t seen that.

This one is bad though.

I really like it. It’s got a vintage Mapei vibe. The other guy’s kit will be a national champion variant just for him.

the footage of the EF team unpacking the gear to an amusing mix of confusion and disgust is worth a watch

Is that a Colnago?

It’s a Raleigh from my birth year with full super record.

My first proper bike was a Raleigh Record Ace with Nuevo Record.

Would love a Raleigh team banana bike and full kit.

Someone would know a lot more than me about these things but I would guess that Palace are able to ask a lot of $ for these collaborations.

There’s not much money in pro cycling. I think they’ve more likely done it for the fuck of it.

But Rapha is owned by Walmart now so who knows?

Yeah I guess like 5 of the world tour teams have a tonne and the rest struggle.

I guess depends what you think is a lot of money.

If I was to guess I’d say 50-100k for something like this.

Will never know though.

Looks like a dreamscape rave flyer

Road racing kit is always horrific. Nothing to do with the lyrca, it’s ridiculous sponsor logos, shit patterns and garish colours. The one with the Palace logo hidden front and centre does its best to make it as invisible as possible.

Yeah simple kit is the best… besides that old mapei one.
