I thought it was clear in my post that i was referring to england and I cannot see someone in essex needing boots that will cope with scottish winters..
If it matters I am scottish[ though living in england]

Thanks all for the input. I'll sleep on it, but I reckon the Japanthers will be a nice little upgrade to the shimano's. I have just bought some new car tyres and the dissent133 gloves though

I have been a regular customer of www.alwaysriding.co.uk since their early days. Looks like they are closing there retail arm at the end of the year so quite a few bargains over next few months.

I have just ordered some Red/White shorts for £50 which a few on here like. Lots of other good brands as well.

If anyone is a 28" waist the Muxu 3/4 are a steal at £15 I love mine but never going to fit in that size!

Always Riding always seemed to have an interesting product selection. Keeping an eye out on their site as the stock Porcelain Rocket bags

Cheers, just ordered a pair myself, used the ‘rider Points’ for another £5 off, bargain!

So I've bought some Japanthers (actually 2 different sizes, but one set are being returned).

Next question. Where can I get the "protective shim" for the cleats that the warning sticker on them tells me to use if using Time cleats, otherwise I invalidate the warranty....

Have a look at Ride Aurborn, she stocks PR Kit, and is often far cheaper..

What that frame needs is more options to attach things to it
