Full Kit Ranker quarter finals
24 of the best summer cycling jerseys
As in the previous rounds, get yourselves familiar with our four remaining classic jerseys before making your decision, then cast a vote in both polls. Voting closes at 4pm on Friday, after which we'll gather the final scores then the grand final will commence on Saturday afternoon.
Without further ado, let's get voting!
La Vie Claire (1985) vs Faemino Faema (1970)
We've got a feeling the elimination of Mapei in the quarter finals will be unpopular with a lot of you, as it was edged out by literally tens of votes out of almost 3,000 by the classic Faemino–Faema strip donned by Eddy Merckx in the build up to his Tour de France and Giro d'Italia domination in 1970. It's up against the 1985 La Vie Claire classic as worn by Bernard Hinault, that was (perhaps surprisingly to some of you) a clear favourite over the uber-cool Molteni jersey worn by than man Merckx in 1972. What's it going to be, La Vie Claire or Faema? This decision is a tough one!

Bianchi-Pirelli (1958) vs Peugeot-Shell-Michelin (1984)
The classic Bianchi jersey worn by Fausto Coppi - one of the most famous cyclists of all time - triumphed convincingly in our poll over US Postal's Nike jersey from 2004... worn by another of the world's most famous cyclists, but not necessarily for the right reasons! There was a much closer poll in our match-up between the minimal yet iconic Peugeot-Shell-Michelin strip donned by Stephen Roche, and the loud pop art-inspired Z-Tommaso jersey worn by Greg Lemond, with Peugeot pulling through on 59%. 1950's Italian vintage cool, or 80's French pizzazz? The choice is all yours...
You can buy a Bianchi replica jersey here, and a 70's-era Peugeot-BP replica here. You can still find some original Peugeot-Shell-Michelin jerseys on eBay.
As with the first round and quarter finals, make sure you cast votes for all four match-ups and discuss with your fellow Full Kit Rankers. Feel free to share your favourite jerseys that missed our initial shortlist in the comments too... we might even have enough for another tournament!
And again, cheers to the Full-Kit W*nkers page for inspiring the name of this epic contest - part of Twitter folklore.
They love putting various road works signs on the cycle lane over Caversham Bridge. Mostly for things that don't really relate to the cyclists.
One of the closest passes I have seen on here....
Had a look round an S5 at a local bike shop. It is a fabulous looking bike, but needs a modest lottery win at £12k! ...
Polishing a turd is the correct phrase imo....
I use unconventional mixtures of road and MTB equipment on my road bikes because the big brand groupsets don't recognise that avoiding traffic...
Since it's still a BSO, I don't the slightly compressed version being accepted as luggage.
As it's a parallel crossing, the driver does of course have exactly the same obligation. Though I think perhaps you are being ironic. HWC195.
I won a set of the Aces in a BC competition a few years ago (before I moved to Cycling UK). Used them a couple of times before giving up for above...
Yes I missed the daylight saving. Hope I didn't advantage anyone. Had to disappear well before race start so I didn't pick it up. All times were...
Yeah! Get a couple more wheels (or a motor) - that's the way to freedom / romance / sex....
