Um.... That's the content of one drawer, and doesn't include any shorts, tights, 3/4s, long sleeve jerseys, plain gilets, windproof jackets, waterproof jackets, oversocks, overshoes, helmets or socks. Jesus, the socks would fill the bed....

I've got about 20 pairs of gloves...

Treasured stuff? The stuff I've raced in I suppose, although other stuff has proved its worth over the years.

Love it, although space is getting tight...

The caps are probably a bit more precious, particularly the Word Perfect one; I tend to buy them as souvenirs or mementos...

Edwig Van HooyDonck rode for Word Perfect, and he is a particular favourite rider of mine; big, ginger, Belgian rouleur, complete Classics monster and inventor of the 3/4 bib knicker because he was too tall to use the tights supplied to him.

There's a Mapei cap in there too, a Johan Museeuw thing...

The Dawes jersey was bought from Steve Douce, who was a great British cyclocrosser.

The pale blue Specialised mitts were handed on to me at a race in Belgium by a team mate who didn't like the gel padding; neither did I so I cut it out and used them.

Nice.. really nice. I like stuff with stories/history/provenance.

The only thing i have left from my ex racing days is a sore arse and a pain in my lower back.
