I live in my Snowsled Ventile. It’s both brilliant and shite depending on one’s perspective

A light ventile smock over a thin merino shirt is absolutely brilliant...
In just the right cool but showery weather conditions, and riding a beautiful vintage piece obvs

Bet it’s nowhere near as good as a Greenspot.

Bet it's no where near as good as sitting on ones arse and spending the money on 8 cubic meters of firewood and wine and chocolate.

This thread was bound to get lowered to basement level. I hope I posted a silver dart.

I bought three pairs of Colnago winter gloves about thirty years ago at a discount cycle sale at Whitchurch Bristol sports centre. They were reduced from 29.99 to 2.99 each.

£5.98 for the pair?

The company who made belstaff in the uk for belstaff called RM (not rm williams) carried on making "belstaff" jackets...exactly the same for about £80 for many years.

Belstaff moved production away from the uk as it was cheaper about the time they quadrupled their prices....

I remember when it was only old gits on musty bmw's twins and gt750 who wore those.

Ps...I dont still have the GT...but still have the jacket!

I was thinking kettle, then realised you meant the Kawasaki I loved my musty BMW and Belstaff
I cycle in a Berghaus goretex jacket and have done for 21 years.

You'll find it on the floor in TKMaxx next year for 40 quid

They took that too far...

Agreed, still have my Belstaff after donkey's years and still going strong.
