@cyclerdoug brave! God, you had great hair! I know I'll be shaving my head before anyone "notices" I'm losing it. Lol. Love these old photos.

HA!! Embrace the loss, Chris...Its quite liberating.

And back in the 80's I even had more hair!

A cool Monte Carlo was the sure bet for picking up dates.
(I had a '71).

Been to my dads today and he'd found an old magazine photo from 1990.
It's me winning an international road race in France while riding in the Great Britain team.

Factory pilot. seafoam with vented fire iridium .

Cheers mate ,
It's long ago now and I'm not normally
one for talking about old glories but it seemed relevant to the thread.

It was Greg lemond in his factory pilots that got me into oakleys 30 yrs ago and I have honestly never bought another brand.

To you also my friend, thank you.

I've had one pair of Persol since my first M Frames (pic in this thread) and sold them off after less than a year...they suffered from disuse.

Anytime you feel nostalgic and chatty you please let me know, I would love to pick a former professionals brain about training, equipment, schedules, diet, etcetera! I am too old and slow to go further than local racer but still love the training!
