Pic of the Day Special "Guide to Fashion"

"Winter training on the Italian Riviera, February 1949.

Mud-guards, no bottles, Simplex derailleurs for the bikes. Berets, plus-fours (sp?), plaid socks (except Serse isn't wearing socks), no gloves, and tight woolen sweaters for the riders."

Ah.. the Golden Days. Someone is going to tell me that spandex and lycra makes riders faster, blah, blah, blah... but at least these guys look like cyclists not Cirque du Soleil performers. And YES... mudguards too!!!

Great photo, Aldo...!
