Poundland have some mini LED lights (red and white), so handy for fixing to helmets backpacks etc. They measure about 5 cm long by 1.5 cm depth and width, 1 LED, static and flashing modes, velcro strap. No idea what they're like in the wet or how durable they are generally but they are only a pound.

Sort of a bargain if you've got American contacts who can get it to you - complete Mavic Ksyrium K10 wheelset (including tyres & tubes) for about £500.

Cycloslalomeur

Corncob CS-7800 for about 40 quid. A bargain in my book at least.

Yep, I've got two of 'em. Very bright when looking directly at them, flash and steady beam both useful. One of them rattles slightly, might be the lense... Hard to tell. Easy to fit, cheap, batteries seem to last a while.

Can't complain for that price!

Nice.

Does anyone know much about the sizing of Giordana, in particilar this one:
http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/Giordana-JERSEYS-LONG-SLEEVE-Giordana-Tech-Blend-Silverline-Long-Sleeve-Jersey/GIORZJLS160

I normally like jerseys that are around 19"/19.5" pit to pit, so am unsure of whether to go for a large or extra large - I like fitted, but not ultra ultra fitted if you understand me.

Most of my current jerseys are small or medium.

Cheers

Large in Giordana equates to medium.

I'm similar size to you by the sound of it, suit jacket size hovers between 38" and 40". I'd go for size L - XL is too big for me, certainly if I'm going for a fitted look.

I have one of those already in a large size. In terms of chest measurment the sizing chart is fairly accurate. The fit is good. I'd say I'm pretty normal size. 6' and getting towards 13st. EDIT: Normally UK or US sizes I get medium and tend to need large for EURO brands.

Will wait til tonight for the missus to choose a pair of giordana shorts to pop it over the £35 barrier, and stick the order in.

£280 for the previous gen 105? I have no use for it, but I want to buy it just because it's cheap....

Buy it. It's rude to leave it in the store. All you need then is a new frame...

Oh crikey! I'm stumped on that. I think the Windproof one is likely to be for cooler weather. More likely to be the difference between medium and lightweight material so depends what you're looking for. I'm a big fan of Giordana stuff in general. You get good quality gear at not quite such ludicrous prices as Campag/ Assos. The Body Clone bib shorts are awesome although still steep even with the discount,

I bought this last winter and it was pretty decent in terms of keeping the chill out. Mind you I was also wearing a merino base layer and ss jersey

I've already got an Ultegra SL gruppo sitting doing nothing.

Discussions are under way regarding a metal commuting frame to put it on.

My new commuting frame comes at the end of the month. You're more than welcome to put it on that and let me bed it in for you
