Oh, sweet Friday! Illustrious salve to the vicissitudes of the capricious midweek! And, what’s more, a chance to look at cool stuff!
Scott Scale 740
This Alu Scott has the same geometry as its carbon brethren, designed for ‘world class speed’. Internal routing, too.
That lockout controls the Fox CTD fork and 100mm of fast-as-owt travel.
The whole shebang comes in at a whisker under 25lbs.
Price: £1499.99
From: Scott
Felt Double Dee 70
For those who like their bikes a little *wider*, take a look at the Felt Double 70. Aluminium framed, with everything you need to render the untameable tameable. Except for tigers, probably.
Plenty of bosses for bottle attachments and racks and what-have-you on the hydroformed aluminium fork.
From: Saddleback
Price: £950
Scott Shorts Trail 20
Complete with removable inner padded short, asymmetric style an’ that for maximum schralping (What? I haven’t used the ‘S’ word in aages…) and maximum style in maximum comfort.
Price: £94.99
Scott Jacket WB Trail MTN 70
Catchy named jacket with Windbreaker and Dryozone technology. Stuffs into its jacket pocket when it’s not being orange (or when it’s not raining out).
Price: £84.99
Scott Ridance Glove
Built for the rider looking for protection. Durability, breathability, 3D contoured fingers for a precise fit. On this last, it’s worth noting tat they’re too big for Jorji…
Price: £20
Scott Stego Helmet
Barney tries to be one of those fellas from CHIPS (no relation). Or perhaps he’s hiding the huge bags under his eyes from having a new baby (hint: it’s the not the former).
It’s got an integrated MIPS brain protection system, comes in 3 sizes, has a Micro Rotatory Adjustment System, extended coverage and optimised venting. Even Barney can’t make it look bad (as much as he tries, simply by existing).
Price: £119.99
Scott Trail short sleeved T-Shirt
A wicking technical T continuing the asymmetrical theme
Price: £50
Scott Elite BOA Shoes
An all-mountain shoes with a more relaxed fit (than other racing-snake shoes in their range, presumably). They’ve got a Boa ratchet for closure and sticky rubber (in groovy red-orange colours) for grip.
Price: £100
All of the above available from Scott
Aldi Backpack
GVM is planning some back-country expeditions in the near future – he’s camping out in the woods until the heat dies down. So he’s delighted at the prospect of this Aldi backpack. Lots of pockets (for hiding his ‘special stuff’), a large main compartment, a vented back, and a bladder.
Price: £19.99
Available FROM SUNDAY April 12th from Aldis everywhere…
GT All Terra Mini Pump
One size-fits-all valve, foldable T-handle and black/red colourscheme

GT Carbon Bottle Cage
It’s a bottle cage made of carbon! Flared sides for easy access, and a firm hold in 23g flavour.

Budget stoppers

Up to 120psi in a roadie style, and with a cunning one-size-fits-all valve head.
Price: 24.99
All GT stuff is from CSG
..and we’re done! The weather actually looks pretty good this weekend, so as fast as our little pins can carry us we’re heading out to try to remember what riding bikes in anything other than clag is actually like. Have a great weekend!

Hoorah! Looks like I win this weeks spot the deliberate mistake competition. The 12th’s Sunday not Monday, and you’d not want anyone to miss out on Aldi bargains would you?
Once it’s gone etc………

Can people stop talking about the Aldi bargains until I’ve been!?
barney April 10, 2015 at 2:34 pm
Oh, you guys… updated 🙂

Aldi and Lidl and my employers are conspiring against me. EVERY time A + L have temping stuff on the cheap, my employers have me out of the country at work.
Grrr. Mrs Seadog refuses to enter said establishments on my behalf.

Fantastic name for the Felt
matthew_h April 10, 2015 at 3:52 pm
I can vouch for the bags under Barney’s eyes. That new helmet of his looked good yesterday too

is the zip tie on the chainstay of the fat bike missing deliberately to save weight?
Harry_the_Spider April 10, 2015 at 4:54 pm
Two bikes at sensible(ish) prices!
Teetosugars April 10, 2015 at 9:11 pm
Quite like those shoes…

The problem with 85 quid light weight jackets when you literally “punch the wall” they end up covered in duck tape…..
