If you’re feeling really flush, Paul Smith has quite a range of cycling clothing.

£175 for a jersey, £235 for bib shorts, and £250 for a helmet.

It's like the last days of Rome.... They'll be selling scooters next

' Roll up, roll up. Get your Colnago Master scooters 'ere. Only twenty five grand!,'

I will stick to the middle isle of certain supermarkets at that price.
Lots of reasonable kit also available online at the moment . Good prices as well .

The company who made belstaff in the uk for belstaff called RM (not rm williams) carried on making "belstaff" jackets...exactly the same for about £80 for many years.

Belstaff moved production away from the uk as it was cheaper about the time they quadrupled their prices....

I remember when it was only old gits on musty bmw's twins and gt750 who wore those.

Ps...I dont still have the GT...but still have the jacket!

Belstaff jacket, Derriboots, sea boot socks, white open faced Bell helmet with peak.

I was a musty BMW twin rider 30 years ago but couldnt carry off all of the above at once.

Always a good quality full face and Sidi or Frank Thomas for me. Plastic shoes make my feet stink

I didnt go full on for the look I was describing - too old school, too BMF.

Me neither. I usually wore leathers and a one piece Motomod waterproof if it was foul.

Always thought it had to be Altbergs if you rode a BMW.

I had a lovely R80RS, until it got totalled by a Ford Escort.

I think the Colnago Jacket looks nice, but those longer jackets and my height tend to make me look like Inspector Gadget.

I like Vulpine stuff, but tend to buy it when it is on sale...last year's fashion is still cutting edge for a retrobiker
