I've got a fair bit of stuff from them, no worries on that score though as MRS says, delivery time is weeks not days. PX stuff is usually cheap for a reason, the stuff I've had from them (overshoes and gloves from their own brand) hasn't been great and has generally worn out before the season has. I bought some cheap Nalini shorts from them a while ago, I wore them twice and then binned them as they were so cr@p. Buy cheap, buy twice and all that.rubertoe wrote:meanredspider wrote:Wrath Rob wrote:

It'll be mid-winter by the time you get them so a hot toddy might be more appropriate
never sure about Sport Pursuit either....
Anyone used the PX roubaix bibs @ £15 (no pad, but I have some shorts that I have, that I can use)FCN3: Titanium Qoroz.0 -
Some of their stuff is good - been very happy with their jerseys and at one point they were doing a full zip jersey with three pockets and a zipped key pocket for £9.99 this year. Their merino kit is also excellent - the merino jersey is a winter staple for me and I bought a merino jacket in the sale earlier this year which looks great for cooler days this year.
As above, I haven't been as happy with their overshoes and gloves although I did get a windproof pair that have held up well. I'll check out the bib tights next time I'm in but my experience with any sort of shorts or tights that you definitely do get what you pay for, they seem to be hard to do well on the cheap.0 -

I have a pair of these, been very happy with them. Warm enough for pretty much any conditions I ahev experienced and as you can just wear them over your normal shorts you don't need to wash them every night and can get away with just a couple of pairs. £15 a steal - might get some more...0 -
Had loads of ski stuff off Sport Pursuit, never any problems and dead easy to return stuff you don't want0

Was tempted by a club jersey but saw they weren't full zip. Fail."Mummy Mummy, when will I grow up?"

Rain jacket for £110 is a bargain for what it is, but maybe that's just me and Rule 5.0

Looks quite like a Holux, I had one for a while, until it drowned. For roughly the same price, though, you could get what I've used for the last 18 months or so:redvee wrote:MisterMuncher wrote:GPS Bike Computer, £40 in LiDL (Ireland) next week. How bad can it be?

Works really well, logs very well and is very waterproof indeed.0 -
I've got a Holux 245 which is kind of similar, it's pretty good. But I got a used Garmin 705 off a colleague so the Holux is now consigned to a drawer.
It worked well but was a bit of a faff as you had to upload the rides, then save them on to Strava manually. The Garmin does it automatically and has mapping. If anybody wants a cheap GPS cycle computer pm me, I've also got a couple of spare mounts.
I was going to give it to the boy but it would only encourage him to ride like more of a lunatic, he already SCR's to school. More importantly the EPO would work out I've got the Garmin.0 -
Kona MinUte at CRC for £350, down from £750. Cheap load-lugger in 20" frame, c/w 'guards & panniers. Can mount seats on the deck - surely of interest to some of you with young kids?Location: ciderspace0

A friend has just picked up a Felt Z95 from Winstanleys Bikes for £486.75. Not sure of how much a bargain it is but he's happy for his first road bike.

Certainly is. And you'll want something with a built in rear wheel lock (and another, different lock - apparently the bike thieves in Amsterdam tend to just get good with one kind of lock so using two makes a huge difference).
Or just go for something properly classy!
Faster than a tent.......0 -
Yup - I'm very much resigned to spending more on locks than the bike! On the plus side, the bikes weigh so much that the extra weight of the locks is immaterial...ROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0

a genuine innovations second wind co2 and manual pump for £10
bay fly 2 out front GPS mount and adapter for my 705 garmin, I really didnt see the point of these until during the Marmotte i had so much sweat pouring off me I actually could see the screen, oh and neck ache from looking down at the stem for hours and hours of descending - SOLD
Some DHB trace bib shorts because i'm now a medium and too tight to start replacing all my Rapha & Castelli large kit just yet, well at least until i know if this weight loss is perm.
Oh I guess i meant to add the bargain was the pump from my LBS and the short £28 from wiggleRule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.0
