7Mesh should have some high tech wool blends.
Kitsbow is slightly mountain bike focused but their stuff is high end, very functional and understated.
Specialized makes some wool jerseys.

@TimothyH -- Thanks for the photos. Great looking jersey. The zippered inner pocket is a nice touch too.
The fit sounds like classic 1960s-'70s. When I watch old films of Eddy Merckx in that lumpy, baggy Molteni jersey I wonder how much faster he might have been in a skinsuit on his one hour record.
But those old school jerseys sure looked good. Wish I'd kept the subdued green merino wool jersey I bought in the mid-1970s. Never thought I'd ride again and gave it away about 15 years ago.

Just bought a 32 Oz. bottle of White Lightening Clean Ride from Amazon for $31.20 after sales tax. I'm going to start using this instead of Boeshield T-9.

So two days ago, as I was riding on a road that is crossed by a trail popular to runners, I saw a runner wearing headphones (cover your ear type) emerged from the trail (trees are blocking the view until about 5 feet from the road) while I was about 75 feet from him. He was completely oblivious that he was off the trail and about to cross the road. I rang my bell once and he stopped like you would see in cartoons with both heels forward (was funny to see ). So what they said is true, that bell IS heard through headphones when the ringer is fully depressed.

They make great Christmas gifts too (for the discerning cyclist who has everything.)

Although "spendy" you do get what you pay for! It's loud but not annoying. The sustain of the ring tone is second to none. The Spurcycle Bell is an awesome accessory that will last for years.

I recently invested in these obscenely-priced Jagwire rotating hooks/clips that bind brake and gear cables together to stop them rubbing on the frame, and also keep them looking neater. Whilst a zip tie or c-clips could do a very similar job, these clips allow each of the two cable to rotate independently.

I got this hat a couple of months ago and lost it when it was in my back pocket. I bought another one because I like it so much. It's made of synthetic but wicks as well as wool does. I wear it when on or off the bike, knowing fully well that I'm breaking Rule #22.

The Giro Peloton is another option if you want a good wicking cap. On a couple of occasions, I have inadvertently touched another persons post-ride cap and have been disgusted with how wet and gross they are in comparision.

The hat's nice, but since Rockbros is probably most well known for ripping off Spurcycle, I'm not a fan.

(no helment mirror).
Just came in the mail this evening.
A hand-held swing and deceleration at my dining table tripped the function into a brighter mode.
Ready for a road test.
