Re: Cheap bike place down Swindon way.
Not really because you then go down the Hovis route of buying loads of crap that never fits. Need to find something that fits well. Also I'm a bit old fashioned in that I rarely go into a shop to try stuff on then buy it online elsewhere. If the shop is prepared to hold stock and let me try things out I'm prepared to pay a few quid extra for them to still be there next time I need them.

It's by no means all Frank Thomas stuff. In a word, yes, I thought it was good.

Re: Cheap bike place down Swindon way.
Just found two piece Hein Gericke leather suit. £200 bit of a bargain. Anyone had HG leather? I've had their textiles and they were good but not had their leather stuff.

Re: Cheap bike place down Swindon way.
As mentioned up there, my end-of-line bargains were HG leathers. They're absolutely fine.

Re: Cheap bike place down Swindon way.
Yes mine are good, they seem good value for the money my leathers have become like wearing a second skin. I prefer leather to textile, but thats just me.

Re: Cheap bike place down Swindon way.
Btw, infinity in Farnborough has recently turned into an outlet store, not sure what exactly they have just seen the sign outside, may be worth a look.
