There was much sniggering from the work cyclists when they were negotiating not to change the cycle to work signup period, and the HR women asked "How many bikes do you need?".

I'm guessing there was much uttering of n+1 and The Rules.

Can anyone suggest a good site to buy cheap(ish), but not plain, jerseys?

I don't really want team kit and some of the own brand jobbies look gash.

Have you looked at Wiggles DHB/Altura/Endura range Sam ?

Another site other than the usual Evans/CRC is http://www.madison.co.uk/products/cycling/,

Found a decent retro looking one with go faster stripes on eBay in the end.

But now I find myself looking at new helmets to keep in with the colour scheme. And glasses. And bottle cages.

The helmet and glasses should match the jersey.

The bottle cages MUST match/ complement the bike.

Yeah, I like to be coordinated as Bennett can attest. I'm only really wanting a new helmet because the aesthetics of the current one aren't that pleasing - it was Lidl bargain that does a job but is rather mushroom like. The glasses likewise.

As for cages, I've only got one fitted at the mo, but given that I want to up my distances this summer I'm going to need to carry more fluid so I'll be needing two. Plus that means I'll be needing two matching bottles as well. I like the look of the Elite Custom cages, but every bugger seems to have them these days.

I've just bought some white plastic Bontrager cages for £10 each and they are really good - alot easier to use than the previous ones.

I think the helmet should match your bike/shoes. If any one finds a black and orange helmet/shoes can you let me know?  Grin


edit : just seen that wiggle are doing DHB helmet/Glasses combos

Lazer have released a helmet and glasses range that complement. The glasses have short arms with magnets in the end and the helmet straps have metal buckles that the magnets stick to. The helmet also has metal pads in the vents for tucking the glasses securley out of the way when honking up hill.

I thought so too initially but, I tried one on and wasn't convinced of the security of the magnets when wearing the shades. Maybe I wasn't getting them right though.

That aside, quality helmets and shades.
