CyclistIn The Drops: Road Book 2011, Isadore patchwork jersey, 7Mesh S2S vest and Fontaines D.C.The leaves are falling, the pumpkin spice is returning and the cycling season is concluding. This must mean one thing: weve reached autumn once again.This week at Cyclist weve been living in the afterglow of the Grand Tours. I dissected Primo Roglis legacy, Andy McGrath dived into Tudor Pro Cyclings Giro debut and weve taken stock of the final signings of the season. Not only that, we mapped out an ambitious Irish Grand Tour. Were also gearing up for the UCI Road World Championships in Zurich, which kick off this weekend. Weve kept you in the loop with our guide and a run-down of the favourites for the time-trial events set to take place in Switzerland on Sunday.In tech news, Brompton has launched its G Line for commuters looking to take a more expansive ride to work. Not only is the ride more expansive, but the wheels have increased by four inches. Will Strickson delved into the new folding bike and how it came to be. Laurence Kilpatrick also broke the news of Ribbles new titanium All Road Ti and reviewed the funky-looking Bont Vaypor 2023 shoes.Well, thats enough preamble, lets get in the drops.Isadore Patchwork JerseyAsymmetry and patchwork designs are very in at the moment. Just take a look down Brick Lane and youre bound to find a couple of mulleted individuals sporting a patchwork Carhartt jacket.Isadore has been edging its way into the hip circles of cycling fashion. Headed by Slovakian former pros Peter and Martin Velits, the central European brand has joined the merino wool trend and created a jersey that ticks all the street fashion boxes. Enter, the Isadore Patchwork Jersey.The patchwork design hits the spot. In this steel grey design, the patchwork leans into dark earthy tones. Its not trying too hard to be quirky or overbearing with its asymmetry either, which is a big plus. The merino wool texture is cosy. The material reminds me of a more lush 1990s rugby jersey. As for the tailoring, the jersey is a snug fit, however, Isadore advised me to choose a size smaller than normal. Maybe bear that in mind if youre looking to get your hands on one of these jerseys.Isadores research has concluded that the Patchwork Jersey is fit for three seasons in temperatures between 16C and 24C. 36% of the jersey is laced with merino wool for a flexible thermal tough. The jersey also boasts a renewable edge. The zips and silicone taping are made from leftover materials from the brands factory.Buy the IsadorePatchwork jersey from Isadore (130)The Road Book 2011, Cycling AlmanackLets take a trip down memory lane to a time when Rolling In The Deep by Adele was ruling the charts, Rihanna found Love in a Homeless Place, the final Harry Potter film came out andJuan Jos Cobo won the Vuelta a Espaa.2011 is slightly before my cycling time. I was only 10 years old. I hadnt quite caught the cycling bug by this point, but I recall diving deep into the YouTube archives to watch the heroics of Andy Schleck on the Col du Galibier and Johan Vansummerens surprise win at Paris-Roubaix. To relive those glory days, the Road Book 2011 has gone back in time in an attempt to rival the format of crickets Wisden or the Match of the Day annuals from back in the day. The Road Book 2011, like the others in the series, is peppered with long-form essays from some of the sports most gifted writers, including Cyclist contributor Andy McGrath and TV commentator Ned Boulting, as well as the riders themselves. Yes, Cadel Evans, Chris Froome, Annemiek van Vleuten and Giorgia Bronzini all contribute some diary entries into this cycling almanack. Alongside their writing, the book is packed with stats and results like a primitive form of Procyclingstats as well as rider throwbacks, images and rankings.Buy the Road Book 2011 from The Road Book (45)7Mesh S2S VestIts getting chillier here in the UK. Summer is gone and autumn is here with all its damp leaves and grey sky glory. As the seasons change, the vests have been coming out.Canadian brand 7Mesh have me covered this autumn period with its S2S Vest. With a claimed weight of 152g in a medium size, the S2S Vest is designed for water and wind resistance as well as comfort and air permeability. To add, around 90% of the jackets face layer is made from recycled nylon. The vest comes equipped with 7Meshs StashSystem. This neat pocket can be used to pack the vest away, plus elastic straps allow for it to be attached to the bike when stowed away.The vest fits well. It tapers at just the right point around the waistline. For the safety-conscious, the vest comes with some high-vis dashings around the armpits and the bottom hem. The vest is available in black, and I have also been informed that a new raisin colour will be released later in the year. Keep your eyes out for that.Buy the 7Mesh S2S Vest from 7Mesh (170)What were into this week: Romance by Fontaines DCSimone Joyner/Getty ImagesDublin band Fontaines DC are the current poster boys of Irish music. Thats for good reason. The bands 2022 release Skinty Fia an untranslatable Irish-language expletive is one of my all-time favourite records.Skinty Fia unapologetically captures the sense of leaving behind the Celtic homeland to snuggle up to London life, swamped by a feeling of otherness. The record was propelled by a pang of Celtic guilt and angst with lyricism straddling themes of Irish identity, cultural alienation and historical antagonism.If you want to feel this all in the space of four minutes, listen to the track Roman Holiday.A stylistic change later, Fontaines DC return with their new project Romance. Unlike their previous work, Romance isnt anchored by an angered exploration of Irishness. Instead, its a measured rock album that leans on melodies and grandiose production more than post-punk. That isnt to say that there arent dirty guitar licks across Romance. Bug is a highlight with its Smiths-style jangly guitars and vivid storytelling while Starburster is a relentless rock anthem about an asthma attack at a London train station.Say goodbye to Brat Summer, Fontaines Fall is here.
