Silver! Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Hey Phil, I bought a long sleeved jersey, shorts and gloves here:http://www.cycle-clothing.co.uk/Real material, with little branding at a good cost. Came real quick too.Will do me until I'm happy to be noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) I couldn't resist and ended up taking it all to bits.As it stands now.Won some tyres on ebay last night with a white tread, so hopefully they'll look good. And fit...Need to clean up the seat and fit some new bartape, but I am tight and it's a budget project.

Philplop Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 That sounds expensive.I will just give my seat a wipe with a damp cloth, and carry on (not) riding my bike in some old trainers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines super light! It's unreal and quiet comfortable considering how slim it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 You could have had mine for mates rates Ray, sold one (still got two) a few weeks ago.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&item=160839866721&nma=true&rt=nc&si=Kl4iFBxphre8F%252BpPtSmE9T1skW0%253D&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 For that price I'd expect it to have an engine.Loving hitting the roads in the evenings. Easier on the joints than running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Only really starting out after a long layoff so doing around 10 milers at the mo'. Got a good couple of routes out from the house.Need to get a spare tube and tool kit before I venture too far.Registered interest for the 2013 Etape Caledonia and 81mile closed road event through Highland Perthshire.Not sure if I'll do it yet, but it fills up fast so need to think about it. It'll give me something to work towards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo-Joe Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Nice mate. I remember when I did my first longer distance ride! 70miles and started at midnight! Loved every second! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Need to get a rack so I can take some trips out around Loch Tay, Loch Earn and Loch Tummel. Fantastic scenery and quiet roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iMurray Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Should be completing the Isle of Wight cycle next month! 62 miles, very hilly. Super excite, riding quite a standard cheap muddyfox road bike though. S'okay but I wish I had the money for something a little more upmarket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
