Jersey Update.....I have become rather addicted to these club Jerseys. Here are a few more, fronts and backs, sourced by me over the last month. Lots of research to keep me busy

Absolutely stunning photograph fella. I also love your Gentlemans conveyance. Was this Povolaro or another stop along the Vicenza to Bassano del Grappa?

Brilliant, thanks Jim....I hadn't got round to researching that Jersey as yet, so this is a great help. I've just bought a map of Italy to pin where all the jerseys may have originated

Wow, that was a long way from home. I assume you saw the jersey in a bike shop?

Well, sooner than I anticipated, I have posted my first blog related to the vintage jerseys in my collection. I have started with the Cicli Rossi Jerseys. Very excited to embark on this. Previously I wrote a blog related to 8mm films that I had bought from ebay. They were American family movies...

Thank you everyone. I think at the moment I will probably keep them and try to find somewhere I can post what I have found out about each jersey, specifically the clubs who wore them. Maybe start a blog somewhere. For instance the Cicli Rossi jersey is probably related to these fellas...

Just finished the build on my 96 Marin Nail FRS. Everything back to spec bar the headset, pedals, tyres and saddle. When they come up, I'll swop them. Pretty pleased with how it came out

Love the Italian jerseys from this era. As an old Mod, they really hit a note. Look forward to discovering what the initials relate to on your lovely jersey. I have this one on it's way to me. I've found the club associated with the Jersey in Italy. They are a family run Bike shop trading for...

Ah, that sounds like it. My Italian is not so molte bene.......thanks Jim

Well, these jerseys are all from Italy and G.C. precludes some others with differing script. I was thinking it was an Italian phrase related to Cycle Club, but google translate does not help me !!

I'm just finishing restoring a 1996 Marin Nail FRS. All original spec and full working bike if you are still looking? Will probably be £1K
