Rich Posted September 10, 2008 Author Posted September 10, 2008 swweeet Is that new Bell? Any idea when it is due and cost?
ShortLegs Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Don't you need to run off to Killarney? GO! Saved all my bike coupons this week for a looooong ride saturday morning. Secret DC training, but don't tell anyone
Rich Posted September 10, 2008 Author Posted September 10, 2008 I like the Uvex too - anyone used one?
intern Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I like the Uvex too - anyone used one? Heya Rich I always used a Giro Atmos and loved it. Got given a Uvex as part of a vets team sponsorship (check out the thread on that one) and while I initially thought it rated poorly against the Giro, I now love the thing. Being Club100, it is yellow - exactly the same as the one Kim Kirchen wore in the TDF when he had the yellow jersey. Definitely a lekker pip guard. The Columbia colours are real nice, too....
Rich Posted September 10, 2008 Author Posted September 10, 2008 Thanks Intern - I like its styling. Need to try find one here in Durban to try out. Otherwise I may have to wait for the new Bell.
