£25 for breathable stretchy waterproof leggings !
I've nothing to compare these with cos I don't go spending £100s on the brand name equivalents.
However...
Very comfortable, not all sweaty. Quite warm for such thin material. Can't comment on waterproofness because the expected rain didn't trouble my ride yesterday.
I'd suggest going up a size if in any doubt, as the arse is a little short and a "gap" in the middle is not ideal.

Ordering a pair now, I was just thinking the other day that I need some decent winter longs.

I've got the Northwave Arctic SPD ones. Brilliant. Kept my feet completely dry and toasty warm today.

I bought the same boots for this Autumn/Winter & they've been fab! No fussing around with overshoes & ten happy piggies after every ride. Only downside is the look of orthopædic correction - my colleagues refer to them as either polio boots or special needs footwear.
 
And whilst on the Decathlon site I saw this for £109 delivered, can't be that bad for winter use, size Medium

Down to 90 quid, could it put Tesco and Argos out of the bso market :thumbsup:

If anyone is looking for a nice light sleeping bag for a spot of summer cycle touring, the reduction brought the price down to close enough for me to to justify it over a Venom.

mine just arrived ^_^ with a free ChavDirect pint mug thrown in (actually nicely packaged in a box marked fragile but you know what I mean). The mug weighs more than the bag:thumbsup:

must resist - have to resist... keep telling myself I don't need anymore sleeping bags.... 3 is enough honest... must resist

OK, I am going to have to have a giggle... have you seen the temperature rating!:rofl:
> Suggested Usage: 2 to 200C
You won't catch me using it up to 200C! Nice looking bag and light as well...

I buy about 50% of my bike kit from PBK and never had an issue with the remainder coming from Wiggle and Evans. I recently just bought the clothing bundle and everything was the size I ordered so will continue. With everyone there's always a chance of errors and the only place I've had a misplaced order from is Planet X where they sent me the wrong light but that was quickly solved by the next day. Guess I've been very lucky with all my orders.

Ive had shocking service from Planet X - never using them again!

Not a bargain but I stumbled across an app for iPhone called frugal rouleur.

It is a price comparison for bike bits online.... May come in useful.
