You need to be bronzed, built like a racing snake and wearing the full kit to carry them off. (Or maybe they still make you look like a dork? ).

Whatever. Greg Lemond started it, and he's a god. He Can Do No Wrong:

Generally held to be the last guy who won The Tour without drugs.

Indeed.

Oakley Eyeshades take the cake - but Hampsten looked way cooler than Lemond in them.

 

[Orang Utan]

which one is which?

 

[Sigmund Fraud]

Greg is wearing yellow.

Andy is wearing 7-Eleven.

i'm still none the wiser. the fella on the left looks like a dick. the fella on the right may or may nor be wearing glasses. it's hard to tell.

Greg is in the photo above mine courtesy of nick h.

Both of them are probably the last two drug free Grand Tour winners so give them some fuckin' respect man - Hampstens 1988 Giro D'Italia win was literally the stuff of legend.

There was talk of Oakley re-issuing the Eyeshades for the Hoxton fixie market. They're so inexoraby 80s, if you wore them 10 years ago they were so outre as to be cool. Five years ago you'd merely be cognescenti. Now if you wear them you look like a cycling nouveau fashionista cunt.

Its safer just to stay indoors!

They work though. Aand about the same price as 20 years ago. Glad I stole mine back then.
