- A collection of vintage tank tops

- Scissors to cut said jeans into short shorts
- A few pairs of Toms shoes (no socks)
- A collection of NOS / vintage cycling caps
- Any messenger bag (extra points for large bag size to contents ratio)

Take care of these basics and you'll be looking the part, even before having to buy a sweet fixie. That way, you start earning cred around the local coffee shops while you try to convince the folks to get you a sweet FULL NJS track bike (accept nothing less) for your birthday.
