    Go to competitivecylcist.com and there is a do it yourself option - you'll need a friend and a tape measure. 3 different fits, Competitive, Eddy (Merckx) and French !!

    :lol: dunno, I paid for a coach last season (10 months, £500) and I can safely say that I would have done better to put 25 £20 notes in the toaster.
