  1. Decathlon was well worth a visit, didn't buy much today but I fully appreciate why you would go there.........Just a pity it's 90+ miles away for us...! I did try to go to the Evan's shop in Braehead, but TBH us 'country loons' find this traffic shit a nightmare and I gave in.......... Poor on my behalf I know, but it was midday if that offers any kind of excuse....? The cycling shorts, bibs and whatever @ Decathlon looked like decent stuff......I almost splashed some cash on the ones with the thicker padding (B Twin 15mm?)........Should I have bought......... Advice please??
  2. Having had 'saddle issues' myself I fully understand what you are saying here, but having read some (too many) cycling magazines this is definately a difficult question to answer as we are all a 'bit different' down there! I tried a few on the road bike before I settled for a Specialized Avatar gel thingy with the cut out relief bit (excuse the lack of terminology) . The mountain bike came with a Fizik (Gobi I think?) and it gets good reviews from the magzines........ My ar*e isnae so sure though! I've heard a few mention that the Aliante is a decent saddle, but I prefer one with the cut out bitty..... Happy comfort hunting!
  3. Indeed, the joy of youth has long gone for many of us............. Thanks for the Glasgow bike shop info BTW.......... Chances are that it will be cycle thread and the taps and dies are like hens teeth, so yes it probably is the LBS for this?
  4. Stupidly I agreed to drive the Missus and teen Daughter to Glasgow this coming Saturday (even although we are at home against Brechin), so I was wondering where I could go to kill some time and view some bikes and bike related goodies. I've already noted the comments regarding the Decathlon store and will probably visit that, but any other suggestions would be welcome. Window shopping only though.......... Cash is in short supply these days
