I would like to know if there are any classic caps out there for fatheads like me. I have a Molteni Arcore cap another fatheaded cyclist gave me. Pretty much anything I've purchased online has been too small.

Thanks, yeah I know I could buy from Walz or other modern manufacturers. I guess I should have written "team" instead of "classic". I mean a cap with team logo(s) from the period, or new replicas of classic team caps. I bought a Team Z cap from Nashbar a few months ago. Too small...

I'm looking for a cycling cap, so I came across your post, thanks for the essay, it's a really great job! By the way, you have great writing skills, so I think if you create a blog about bikes or various accessories for cycling, then you can make it interesting for readers. At least you already have your first reader. As for me, I admit that I had trouble writing my essays in college and it messed up my academic performance. But I had to do something about it, so I found a quality online essay writer who helped me improve my grades and I was able to graduate from University and start my career. Anyway, I recommend that you think about your blog.

The only time I wear a helmet is when I ride with my grand kids. The rest of the time I wear this and love it. This ls Legnano hat number four. The others all gave up the sweat rotted and salt infested death. Pretty soon it will be time to find number five and they are on Ebay all the time...

Saw the article when it first came out. Someone had left the issue at my dentist’s office. They had the photo of the caps as a two page spread. It looked so good that the mag came home with me. Now if Bicycling ever offered that shot as a poster, I might actually buy it.
