Very very nice.  It looks like new old stock!  Maybe you'd like to bling it up a wee bit with some Honjo's from VO Imports?  Maybe some new bottle cages (3--sweet!) too.
I was going to put together another purchase at VO Imports if you'd like to add to it.

yep.. i'll need a few goodies for this ride.. 1st on the list is a nice leather bag to strap to the rear rack.

[Steve Mattson]

Not all leather but leather trim and unlikely to flop over like a turd in a bag:

Gray and tan leather would be ideal and go nicely with the red frame.

Very nice, sir. Very nice indeed.

i heard that waxed canvas was getting popular these days....

[Steve Mattson]

You'll come around one of these days Mr. Fancy boots.

Bike's not that old. (Pity.)  Plus, it's a little late in the season for the waxed cotton, no? I'm thinking middleweight tweeds or cotton twill.



Barbour's  "Brewster Breeks."

Also available in stretch black moleskin. Rawr.


For super traditional outdoor wear, it's hard to beat Barbour. Me, I keep my eyes peeled for cheap knockoffs. Unfortunately, no one bothers w/the more eccentric stuff that could possibly be used for cycling.

You can also buy golf knickers fairly affordably online.  They're about the same, and come in much more festive colors.
