Women specific cycle clothing

oh, you mean the Life thing for £995? Hm. It's all a bit retrocool, I think I'd rather have something with bits of carbon on it for racing.

edit: I am aware this post makes me look slightly idiotic but I don't care.

Has your budget now increased to be eyeing up £3,000 bikes? I thought you wanted one under Cycle Scheme?

I'd still recommend a custom Roberts. They're beautiful, timeless bikes that will last you forever. You can get a really well-equipped build for around £1,600.

But as above, if you're more into the contemporary carbon look, fair enough.
