More Winter Kit

It's that time of the year in the Cotswold's, the time of year when on every road ride you get muddy if it's raining or not! Well give your washing machine an a break, get some mudguards! What are you saying I hear you cry, mudguards are for the C.T.C crew? Well not any more Mr crud (Pete Tomkins) has come up with a modern solution to and age old problem.



As you can see from the picture above these mudguards are more than subtle and very effective. Though not quite as clean a a full set of mudguards they do more than enough to keep you and a large percentage of the bike clean. I've even got a set on my winter bike. The set retails for £27.99, for more information check out Crud Products.

Winter is coming !

The second of our new brands is Endura clothing. The Scottish based brand has become famous over the years for well designed, well priced, cycling clothing. Endura will often come top of test in the cycling magazines and websites reviews. We have chosen a range of clothing that we feel offers a good balance to both road and mountain bike riders over the following months, however we can order any of the clothing in the range so if something takes you fancy let us know.

Key items in the range so far have been:



The FS260 Pro Jetstream jersey at £59.99, this features a windproof front and a fleece lining perfect for those chilly rides.



The Thermolite Pro Biblongs with pad at £74.99, these are perfect winter tights with a light fleece lining, double coverage over the knees, the fantastic 600 insert and a Teflon coating to keep you warm.

New Whyte offerings in store

It's been a busy October as far as new brands to the store!

The first of the new brands is Whyte bikes. This is a UK based brand designed within riding distance from the store. These bikes are designed for the demands of UK riding. The range gets fantastic reviews from the cycling press and all feature specs picked for the performance factor not price points alone.
