And there goes another £35, this thread is bad for the wallet!

2 x Bib
1 x T shirt
Used the code and got a free T and the window sticker, and shipping all for £35!

Belkin bib shorts and jersey arrived today. Seem to be decent mid-range quality. The pad in the bibs feels decent. Size guide is pretty spot on I'd say. I ordered small for both items (I'm 5'8", 63kg, 30 inch waist).

DHL by any chance? Mine are last showing at Heathrow 0624 - might I see them today? Glad to hear sizing is good - I'm pretty much similar height/weight/build to you, small also ordered!

I'm the same. I don't know whether the feel on them is different, or any of that other stuff. I just know that I'm almost definitely not going to get a puncture on my ride. Which is important to me.

I bought a second-hand tagalong yesterday, and spent a couple of hours last night fixing up and trial fit ahead of the real fitting (with 3 yo and spanner in hand) and trial ride today. The destination objective is Costa coffee (also known as a bribe).

I also splurged on the Belkin sale (2 sets bib shorts, jersey, phone case).

So now I am both a FPKW and one of those annoying pavement cycling parents.

I will be back to being a boring commuter cyclist on Tuesday smile.

Thanks to this thread I've just ordered some Belkin kit (2x bibs & a jersey) although I'm dubious about their sizing guide that puts me in a small for waist and a large for height..

Oh and I just ordered one of these too


Went for the base 105 model as it was 1. cheap, and 2. prime for upgrades. The 105 group etc. can then cascade down to my Synapse
