Merino Undershirts

I have been experimenting with technical baselayers as undershirts under a shirt and jacket for some time. The need for good temparature regulation is as strong in the summer as in the winter.
However I hate the feel of the polyester stuff you get most places. That's why I got pretty excited when I saw these. Extremely light, thin and soft 100% merino undershirts. The flat seams and lack of bright flashy colors and prints make these perfect for wearing under a dress shirt. And they are cheap too.
I have been testing these for about a week now and I have been perfectly warm all the time and most important; I haven't shed a single drop of sweat.
So now that I know they work in cold weather it's going to be good to see how they perform in the summer.
My only regret so far is that I only bought two.

Another CB Four

What a complete and utter brutal exhaust! The twist grip also looks like the bike is not as fast as the owner thinks it is...

Stainless

The other day I recieved a nice little package. I must admit that I really surprised myself with the level of sheer excitement over some bolts.
I plan to change as many bolts and nuts as possible on the GT500 to stainless starting with the handlebar controls as they are getting a makeover. More to follow...

If you need stainless bolts - imperial or metric - this supplier stocks the most. and they sell individually which is extremely nice if you don't need a thousand of each size.

Shiny Sunday Ride

Check out this ride. This is the kind of bike bike that makes you wonder if this is an extremely well kept original or a restorer with OCD...
I like the use of bar end wheighs to finish of the 'horns' of the club man bars. Definately going to do that on mine.
