I think it was 1990 or 1991 because he was on Z. He had his hat under his helmet and he had on Oakley Factory Pilots with clear lenses. He was looking totally PRO, despite the fact he was about 20 pounds overweight. I immediately adopted the look. I might just dig out my Factory Pilots when I get home tonight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-15284150789367500932007-08-31T13:18:00.000-05:002007-08-31T13:18:00.000-05:002007-08-31T13:18:00.000-05:00Think Bartoli, Spring Classics,<BR/>late 90's, great glossy's in<BR/>Cycle Sport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-61530870593950749172007-08-31T00:29:00.000-05:002007-08-31T00:29:00.000-05:002007-08-31T00:29:00.000-05:00I always liked how Andrea Tafi cut his hat and had his hair sticking out. Eros Poli had also done the same except that he had just left very little fabric. It was like a hat-a-thong. <BR/>In worst case scenarios hats have been used to get that grease off your hands after a messy on the road repair or that emergency pit stop in the bushes. Hats are also good for riding at night to fend off drivers who insist on the high beam setting for their lights.<BR/>ariArihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13083766829086663770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-1493289412353931002007-08-30T21:13:00.000-05:002007-08-30T21:13:00.000-05:002007-08-30T21:13:00.000-05:00Like the Anonymous guy said above, wear it high or don't wear it at all.<BR/><BR/>PRO in the 60's and 70's was all about the appropriate amount of puff:<BR/><BR/>http://www.vintagevelos.com/images/molteni_hat.jpg<BR/><BR/>That shit just levitated yet somehow stuck to their heads.

Helmet or no, for hot or cold, dry or wet, a hat is one of the most flexible PRO accessories you can have in your arsenal.<BR/><BR/>You could even wear one with a wet cabbage leaf under your hairnet helmet to keep yourself cool like the Cafe de Columbia riders!<BR/><BR/>On the bike...
