Although not a hoody, I have found Portland Cycleware long sleeve merino wool jerseys to be incredibly useful as a daily rider and bike commuter. They are heavy weight wool. Don’t cause me to itch at all. Look good on the bike or for a beer afterward. Sooo comfortable warm but never hot. John

Looks like drop bars would be more at home on this bike. As others have said, the Alba backsweep makes the cockpit look a bit tight. The bike would probably handle as intended with a drop bar-type riding position too. Of course, it really just depends on what you find comfy. KJ On Tuesday,
