This jersey is the perfect all rounder; under a waterproof, combined with a gilet or as a comfortable outer layer.

"I use this jersey regularly for commuting or on longer night rides where the yellow helps with being seen. Jersey is relatively light weight, comfortable and a good fit. Excellent for temps of 5C or more but you'd probably need something heavier for truly cold weather."
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, Good Fit

"This is a warm and well-fitting jersey for colder weather (I'd say from 3C to 10C, maybe not for mid-winter). Looks good and is a well cut for road riding. Does as good a job as many jerseys 2 or 3 times the price."
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit

"I use this light for 3 hour night-time road rides. It's compact and powerful with a very bright beam on highest setting. It won't quite last 3 hours on highest setting but this isn't an issue as it goes into 'reseve' mode and will always get you home. Very neat and secure handlebar mounting. Recommended, if you're prepared to spend over £100 on a decent light."
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Lightweight

Hi, Im 6ft 4, 34in waist, arm length is usally short, what size would you recommend? as tight a fit as possible. X or XL?
I'm 6'1 and slim build. The L is about right for me, so I would suggest going XL for your height. The fit is quite slim.

I want to replace my Campag 9 speed Veloce cassette - will a 10 speed fit? The wheel / hub is about 8 years old.
Yes, a 10sp cassette will fit on the hub, but you'll need to upgrade levers and rear mech to 10sp for it to work properly.

City III Gore-Tex Overshoes
Packable to a minimum size, Velcro fastening at back, Adjustable instep, Cut-outs for all current pedal systems, Reflective logo, Ideal for MTB and leisure shoes
Waterproof as well?
Are these waterproof?
No overshoes will keep your feet totally dry, the rainwater will always run down your shins and seep into your socks.

Variado Compact 2009
The Variado Compact is a superb performance mid range road bike built upon the Focus Aluminium Light Racing Frame, with Race Carbon Forks, resulting in a great bike at a great price.
Can any type of mudguards be fitted to this bike? If so, which ones? Thanks.
SKS 'Race Blade' style mudguards, require no eyelets and are adjustable for frame clearance.
