I prefer the retro lavender version of the T500. That is a great color, but there is not as much contrast. Tough call.
This is where I'm at too. I like the contrast the lavender brings, but I think the retro lavender keeps it truer to the Pink Giro d'Italia jersey.
Not sure I'd go for blood doping as the t100
Plus it's probably still a bit too close to the pink chip
Haha, that never even entered my mind! The Yellow, Pink and Red jerseys are really the main three (leaders jerseys for each of the Grand Tours, the biggest tours of the year). I wouldn't normally put so much red into a T100, but I thought adding the Maroon to it made it dark enough to pass. Even considered black as well.
Any suggestions on how you might do it so as to allow for a red and pink chip in that line-up?
