Wanted: Cycling clothing - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

crank · 26th July 2008

I'm going on a big ol' tour of France in a few weeks, and have hardly any cycling-specific clobber, and no funds to purchase any.

Looking for shorts (un/lightly used), lightweight jerseys, cycling socks etc. suitable for comfort in hot weather, and summer evenings.

I'm a small/medium size, 30/32" waist, 34ish chest, 10ish feet

Please, no mankinis.

get yourself to decathlon, their shorts/bibs are meant to be the best VFM if you can't afford assos
i wouldn't want to go touring without a comfortable derriere

get yourself to aldi..... cheap cycle tops.

sLimJim · 26th July 2008

not sure second hand is the best way to go with cycling shorts, commando is a popular option. Buy some new old stock from ebay, good way to go. I'm cycling to rome in a week and all my gear was from ebay.

You are going to struggle being 10(ish) feet tall.

Brand new SUGOI Yellow lightweight cycling jacket, never worn / Medium (cost something like £70 if I remember correctly) folds up small. £10

Cheers mate, I'll check em out on my weekend food shop. Seriously my folks mock me for shopping for food at Aldi, I think it's pretty good...
