Ladies of the org (and gentleman too, if you care to comment)...

Leathers.

Poor selection for female.

Prefer nice clean matt leathers.

I hate girly stuff too, but I also get annoyed as a lot of the ladies type shops seem to be more expensive. Hein Gericke have a good range, but you tend to find loads of people wearing the same.

I have reasonably big hands and I have a nightmare getting good fitting gloves. I only really have one pair that fit perfectly but they're a bit pedo-ey

Don't get me started on gloves! As I'm such a nice guy and it was snowing in the week that Miss Ophic was doing her course/test, i thought i'd treat her to some winter gloves. Of course she has titchy little hands and after a few days of searching, we eventually found a pair that fit.... £80

I think the trouble is the manufacturers just dont make that wide a range of female kit which is why the choice isnt that good.

any more for any more....

i tend to just look at things that take my fancy - i HATE that there seem to be only things in black/pink or baby blue for girls, and they usually have sort of flower or celtic twirly wirly deisgn on too.

really depressing that girls sizing it awful too - quite demoralising when you have to try on a pair of trousers 2 sizes bigger tan what you are in a room full of men who watch you cos your a girl. although its nice when you get to try on the size 2 sizes smaller lol.

also greatly annoyed by that fact that people tend to overlook me (espeically if im not wearing bike clothes) and speak to the guy whos accompanying me, even if they point out we're shopping for me

and i i find that stores never stock good girl boots. i'm a 6 and mens shoes seem to start at 7 (when i;ve asked) and girls boots always seems to either be black, or short and black. i just want the mens boots, in a size 6 (mine are a size too big atm cos i wanted them badly lol)

sorry for the rant just realised i wrote loads

Its all good feedback...and thats what im after. Like i said before, i know how i feel about female bike kit but i wasnt sure if you lot felt the same

Can get a discount from the woman who owns the Aberdeen/Alford store, as I bought her old bike..

If you girls see anything you fancy, I can see how much I would get off, and post it down if you like?
