3 Primal jerseys in the house, youngest is 15 years, two others at least 20.

Not going to post nor allow dissing. They were gifts from my kids and I still wear them... sometimes.

Kids aren't kid no more.

What is very funny is how we won't ever throw these things away...I don't know quite what it is about Cycling and bikes that makes us like that...I mean, I was looking for some old brake bolt the other day came across a small box of old worn and totally gone brake pads....dozens of them...realized some of them were from mid 80's or so...but of course, put the box right back on the shelf right next to that bag of old smelly bar tape I have been hoarding for decades...

Primal. No contest

Absolutely anything EVER made by Primal. How they've stayed in business churning out that crap is beyond me.

This may not be the ugliest but it was certainly the most disturbing one I ever owned. I bought it while in a post-injury, drug-induced fog and never wore it.

When I learned USA Cycling was "partnering" with them any dreams I ever had of a national champion's jersey turned to nightmares.

Funny you say that, the past three years USAC partnered with Assos, now Primal? Budget cuts I suppose...

Did you guy ever see those Cinelli Jerseys that made you look like a horse jockey? They were AWFULLLLLLLLL. Mid 90s I think....I'll see if I can find one.

Primal takes the win, but Castorama gets a dishonorable mention:



Bonus negative points for going from one of the best jerseys to one of the worst:

I don't mind the front, but the back hair is a deal-breaker.
