Aussie tights. I wear them every day in the winter under MUSA shorts,
no underwear. Warm in the cold, not too hot, soft, dry quickly, not
too tight. The crotch wears out after awhile.

[RBW] SAM OR BLERIOT

2010-09-02 Thread Doug Ford
I've got a Bleriot I love, but it doesn't fit; have the chance to buy a new
Bleriot frameset that does.
Is a Sam H better than a Bleriot ? Or not. 90% of my transportation is by
bike: commuting (all weather);shopping, sometimes heavy; light touring.
Thanks,
Doug
