First up in this Fresh Goodies blog is a new pair of long fingered gloves. I have numerous pairs of gloves which are different in warmth, waterproof, windproof, short fingered, padded, non padded - you name it. My go to gloves for most of the time apart from when its above 15ish degrees and no colder than 0 degrees is a thin pair of old Storck Winter Glove Pro's. I bought two pairs at the time when the UK distributer was selling them off (£19.20 in 2017 rrp £40) all there stock at Gateshead. My black pair is now full of holes and very thin, my second pair in white still has a few more miles in them but are starting to look a little shabby. I have never managed to find any other gloves like them until I found these from Pas Normal Studios. They are slightly more bulkier and slightly thicker but are very similar in design etc. I am going to keep them for later on this year in the Autumn. If you are a keen cyclist you will will probably know the name and just how high the rrp is on their products. Well these have an rrp of £55 and I got them for £44 from Team Cycles in Gateshead. If they last as long as my Storck gloves I will be over the moon.
Second up is another saddle bag. When the zip broke on my last saddle bag I thought I had a spare small bag in my parts tub but to no avail. I was on the look out for a small spare plain black cheapo bag and this one - Bontrager Comp (Small 0.80L) was reduced from £13.99 down to £5 so bought it, again from Team Cycles in Gateshead. Cannot go wrong for a fiver!
