Don't forget the Cardinal Rule of Retro-Cool : Lose those spoke protectors and chainring protectors !!

In the 1970's when i started riding, i was in the cutoff-shorts and a t-shirt camp. In fact, i still show up at san diego vintage rides in cutoffs and tshirts, normally. If and when I lead the pack for the entire ride (hopefully), then maybe i'll upgrade to lycra shorts and a jersey.

Retro Cool is not overdressing beyond your capabilities - neither in equipment, nor in clothing !! Let the shoe fit the wearer !!!
