Like those gloves @Nigelnaturist and they are available in Triban Red!

 

[BrianEvesham]

Legs could have gone on longer but my arse bones were in bits, and in fact are still a bit delicate! Is there any cure or is it just a case of grin and bear it and eventually they'll toughen up?

They will toughen up much quicker than you expect!

 

[RFATaff]

I certainly hope so @BrianEvesham !!

Dont belive him took me nearly a year to be comfy on the bike, and I am not telling you how far it was.
Mudguards if anyone is interested.

Anyone remember these I had one, I think on my Chopper but might have been something else.

 

[Biggler]

time to get some full length ones I think, and leggings, and gloves, and a scarf to go over my mouth, and a waterproof jacket. It`s an expensive hobby this cycling lark.

I'm not sure what this numpty is on about it's not so expensive! If only he looked in his coat cupboard he'd find a not so cheap, light, waterproof, Berghaus jacket that used to be too tight, but now fits okay

I still need some gloves and trousers though

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Also these at £19.99 & £7.97

I found one of those, wasn't mine and a size 14 but it fits.

Looking at all of those mud guards/crud catchers and am unsure if my bike will accept them onto it's frame due t the lack of eyelets on the fork. I wish I knew more about this stuff

There some you get that attach to the stays, I think Mo knows something about them.

SKS Blades I think are the main ones, clip onto the frame as opposed to fixed with bolts

You're doing well, up to 10th now. We just need @Mo1959 to pull her finger out and we could get three newbies in the top 10
