I was warned not long ago by a seasoned roadie that its very easy to in his word get 'nerded up' on road cycling and that buying kit can become obssesive...... nah not me I said.

Well ive got an addiction to campagnolo thats getting out of control

2 tops , 1 bib , 1 training top and a new raytech winter jacket off ebay that arrived today a snip at £40 ................ (just in time for summer eh). Not to mention some bioracer team xerox that kit that I just had to have

found myself earlier searching for a gillet ....and socks of all things.

Time to delete paypal account before mrs gwiliis finally finds out that my cycling wardrobe bigger that her complete collection of shoes........

    I've managed to avoid the Campagnolo clothing addiction. Certainly addicted to their components though...

    Unfortunately, I tried Assos shorts. Now I won't buy anything else. That gets expensive...

    Campag bib shorts - the best fit and most comfortable of any pair I own - Assos just as pricey, but why change a winning formula.

    No two Arses the same though I suspect so surely the simple rule is like clothing, just because it has a 'name' does not mean it fits perfectly
