    Probably lots of stuff, the only thing that sticks out for all the wrong reasons was a base layer top reviewed by Chipps.

    It really was utter gash, the material, cut, construction, quality, performance and value were all total rubbish. Came with a nice sticker. Brand was amel, all style and zero substance. made me question magazine reviews if they could get it so completely wrong

    Yep, 2011 Skoda Octavia TSI 1.4 wagon.
    Still can’t believe that such a small engine can get along so adequately.

    – Bonchkiller Saddle (Charge Spoon). Never again after how it beat me up.

    – Genesis Longitude. Had already done my homework but overall positive threads here tipped me. No regrets.

    – Brewdog Elvis Juice. Didn’t hit the spot though, and I’m a hoppy old git. Hazy Jane has since proven to be a favourite. So +1 Brewdog.

    – Armwarmers. Never had heard of such a thing but proven ideal for me as I tend to run hot and like cycling in tees, but live in a land of winch and plummet so pulling up the armwarmers helps on long descents after sweaty uppers. Disclaimer: didn’t actually buy any actual armwarmers as such. Mrs P instead cut the feet off some of her old thigh-length pull-up socks. Perfect. Roll-up, roll-down. Have since bought more pull-up socks to make another pair 🙌🏼

    -Endura Humvee shorts. Ace. Have stopped me scaring the wildlife in my 3/4 bib shorts. Still prefer bib-shorts. Decency is overrated.

    EBC/TW Bents single-wheeled bike trailer. Quite possibly the best thing since everything ever*. The panniers now hate me. The bike now loves me. The world is oysterlike once more. *Currently honeymooning with it, so take with whatever amount of salt you’d deem necessary. It’s ace tho 🚴‍♂️ 🙂

    Some of those Regatta soft shell trousers in the black Friday sale. Quite chuffed with them but yet to use in anger.

    A Cannondale Trigger 3 (remember the thread?) when they were being knocked out for silly money at Paul’s. A purchase I kinda regret. Not been ridden properly since kids (been round Cannock twice maybe?) and only really goes to Sherrwood Pines with a Shotgun seat permanently mounted and sometimes tows a trailer. It’s more all the non standard parts that’s the issue there though, silly Dyad pull shock, 1.5 steerer, 27.5 wheels etc.
