@BalkanExpress the picnic on wheels sounds good
. I did a search on Cyclechat for 'La Savoureuse' but the above mention is the only one I can see. I'd love a read of that on a cold winter evening if you've got a link to a write up
How about a MAMISS? - Middle Aged Man in Skinsuit *
inhale*
I shouldn't have done that with the Xmas timber still on board, its going to take me 20 mins to get out if that now, I may need to call for assistance
. That is me on my Denti in a Denti skinsuit. I built that bike up in 2009 and joined
ebay soon after seeing this jersey on the
right. eBay is deadly,I've since bought 4 frames and all the components for them on there, and regularly check in for any nice jerseys.
The Bottecchia jersey is acrylic, an eBay purchase from Switzerland. It has artwork by Italian painter and collagist Mario Schifani, who was commissioned to do a series of jerseys for the 1989 Tour De France, which Greg Lemond won riding a Bottecchia. I bought it to match my 1989 Bottecchia
. These are all also from eBay bought over the last 10 years.
The green one has been savaged on the back by moths, as has the front of this, and I only bought this last year
The one on the right I think is from a Belgium cycle club made up of staff from a nuclear power station. The Vittoria one also has a Bianchi emblem embroidered on the front. I don't own a Bianchi, I guess I'll have to buy one at some point in the future
And as the MAMIV - Middle Aged Man in Viscose thread is probably a bit too niche, I'll post my 1970;s 100% viscose West German Track Cycling Top. This does not hide any post Chrimbo timber in the slightest, so is for skinny summer days only
So having had moth problems, I've just bought some of these to try to cry and keep the critters at bay.
I find over the winter I don't wear the short sleeve tops, and last summer was mostly too hot, so I didn't wear them much then either, but for autumn and spring they're great. So I tend to go months without checking them, which is when the moths do their worst. I've heard moths also don't like cedar wood and oil, any other wool jersey preserving tips out there for those too forgetful to regularly check them? My Mum's friend keeps her woollens in the freezer, but there's no room in mine for wool jerseys

@andystorey , that is a classy jersey
. It is lovely and will look splendid astride the 753.
