Whats wrong with a pair of "worn too thin for public consumption" shorts and a mesh baselayer?

Or is it just me? 

Nothing, as long as the shorts aren't so worn the pad is knackered - and you're comfortable with a mesh baselayer (wherever you are)... that's what I tend to use by default - but what's wrong with choice, especially if you don't already have 'worn too thin' shorts or want something more suited/better quality/longer lasting ?

Yeah I use some of the bib shorts that I had from a few years ago, not especially worn out, just not quite as nice as my 'good kit' and some mesh base layers that were a bargain from Chapeau in their sale (doown to about £5 each) and bought an extra fan that's set up behind me as well as the two in front. The fan was a whole lot less expensive than most of the indoor kit, but if it keeps people riding indoors then each to their own I suppose.

I know people mock the over-niching of cycling kit - gravel socks and so on - but I get drenched in sweat while training indoors despite wearing my thinnest lightweight summer kit and having a big tower fan blowing.  If they can manage to make some well fitting gear that 'airs' better than outdoor kit (no worries about pockets or crash resistance), good on them.

I normally take my jersey off after 5 minutes, since I am alone in my cellar, I don't feel the need to wear a jersey that isn't needed for warmth. I doubt their indoor kit airs better than that. or you could go for the string base layer approach.
