New Winter Kit

I went for my first winter ride last week. I was kitted with arm warmers and leg warmers but it was cold, so cold I had to bail after three laps of the park. I needed winter kit badly. Really I should invest in a gilet first but the temperature in the mornings here has dropped so much and I’m a pretty skinny guy I’ve picked up a jacket, tights and winter gloves. I think the jacket with a jersey and maybe a base layer will be a good combination for my size. I will need toe covers but couldn’t find any plain black ones yet. Check out what I got so far.

It’s time for a road bike

I never thought I would become a road cyclist but living in the city it’s the most accessible form of the sport. I finally sold my old urban street bike today to add to the kitty for the new bike.

GT Pulse 2010 - is this for real?

I saw this post over at T-White-Bikes for a reissue of the classic GT Pulse. They say it’s a comeback of the classic GT track bike for 2009. The bike photographed is a prototype for the New Zealand region. The frame is alloy with the same dropouts as the Gutterball and has a carbon fork. The frame has a modern look but I wish they could have reissued the classic GT Pulse frame. I couldn’t find any more information on this frame. Was it previewed at Interbike?

Scott 2010 Catalogue

Scott has released their 2010 bikes on their site and the catalogue is available on Issuu. Here’s a couple of my favourites. I’m loving the white tyres, not sure how long they would stay white though. This is the first year I have looked at more road bikes than mountain bikes, does that mean I am getting old?
