  1. I've piled on loads of weight, and not ridden hardly at all in the last
    4 years, even less since I've been driving.

    But Now I've worked out that I have the car to take the bike further a
    field (and having a SanAndreas sitting in the shed doing nothing is
    criminal).

    I wanted to try and find a decent Swobo Jersey like I had in my thinner
    days, but I can't find them. The domain Swobo.com points to one of those
    stupid search/link pages that want to be your homepage.

    Only thing is, I've found a few pages that say Swobo aren't arround any
    more? What happened to them, I know their stuff was pricey, but it felt
    so good to ride in.

    What are habitual Swobo wearers buying now (assuming you Swobos have
    worn out/shrunk with age).

    Swobo, sadly, is gone. For wool clothes try Spot Brand
    www.spotbikes.com or Bouré at www.boure.com

    Both are worth while.

    That was the plan, just wanted to find a real nice comfy wool jersy to
    fit round my slightly larger than UK normal sized gut.

    We don't get the good weather over on this green and sceptic isle that
    the US gets (3 days sunshine in June, July and August, wet and thundery
    the rest and I was stuck in an office for all three).

    I'm still wearing my green Swobo baggies even though the chamois is
    pretty shot. And the electric blue wool socks. Although they're
    totally threadbare and only see use on special occasions.
    I see Castelli wool stuff from time to time. Surly makes a killer
    looking jersey too: http://www.surlybikes.com/clothes.html

    /s "darned socks!"

    Had forgotten about good old Castelli.

    favoured by mani road tourers of the past ISTR.

    Must go back and check out that stuff at Surly too.

    Thanks again.

    It's not mt bike specific but when its colder & for skiing / hiking,
    I've wearing & swear by ice-breakers made out of marino wool. Different
    thicknesses & styles. And the stuff doesn't retain smells at all....MEC
    in Canada might have Marino stuff too.
