From 80's haircuts persisting well into the noughties, to frankly awful lycra and questionable facial hair, cycling has had several notable fashion disasters. Narrowing it down to a 'top' ten was tough, but we've picked ten who really stand-out.
Did you know that Chris Horner used to have a beard? You might wish you never found out. We've all seen yellow shorts to match the Maillot Jaune, but is the recent trend of polka-dot shorts taking it too far? We think so.
What about haircuts? There are some that we'd rather forget, like Vladimir Karpet's flowing locks.
We're sure that we've missed a few, in fact, you may think that some of our suggestions are not in fact fashion disasters, but rather fashion success...
So, let us know if we got it right and add any (dis)honourable mentions to the comments section below.
