I can't even imagine what 50k of cobbles does to you physically and mentally at pro race pace. Nothing but respect for those guys. The only thing you can do is double-tape your handlebars and know that the quicker you pedal, the quicker its all over.
Back on thread, we'll be listing the first batch on Ebay at 5:30 this evening. We'll be listing some more at the same time tomorrow if we don't get them all on today. There are about 100 to go on in total and there are a mixture of sizes so you won't necessarily need to be a sparrow-chested skinny climber type to fit in them.
If I get a chance I'll post some pictures on here beforehand, but we've got a good selection of full zip winter trainers (just in case the weather gets a bit iffy), a Tour de France white jersey from '79 (size medium if memory serves me correctly), a wool Italian national jersey (looks like a more modern reissue of a 50's jersey), an XL Ijsboerke team jersey from the seventies (42-44 inch chest), an acrylic wool rainbow jersey (if you've got the guts to wear it) plus loads of amateur team jerseys and plain ones too. Prices will range from a fiver through to £30 and as I mentioned previously, first class postage is free for LFGSS folks.
