Cheers Skip - just ordered some new parts for the bike, treated myself to a carbon bottle cage at the same time
Have also just been to Aldi - spent less than seventy five quid and bought:-
Winter bib leggings - fleece lined and padded - two pairs
SPD shoes
2* winter jerseys
A winter jacket
2 pairs of socks
Bargain - less than I used to spend on just a pair of shorts and a tshirt!
