Fresh Goods Friday 237

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…
