Retro Cycling Clothes

I’m a big fan of retro cycling clothes. I know wool is not as efficient as lycra. But, the wool tops look good. It invokes memories of great champions. Flandria was the team of great classic stars like Walter Godefroot/Roger De Vlaeminck/Rik Van Looy
Other classic tops include:

• Molteni (Eddy Merckx)
• Bic (Rik Van Looy)
• St Raphael (Tom Simpson)
• Faemino Jersey (Eddy Merckx)
• Flandria/de Clerck Jersey (Walter Godefroot/Roger De Vlaeminck/Rik Van Looy)
• Team Raleigh (Bernard Hinault - I think)
• Panasonic (Jean-Paul van Poppel, Allan Peiper, Jean Marie Lampers (Paris Roubaix winner)

Peugeot Michelin reminds me of Scotland’s Robert Millar climbing the alps.

Sometime retro cycling clothes can be quite expensive, but if you want something a bit different and a bit of cycling nostalgia why not? Just remember to take a good rain cape.
