Sizing I presume if UK large go to XL ?

Have a read of https://www.roadbikereview.com/threads/ale-cycling-apparel-how-is-it.358537/

It would appear Ale are the house brand of APG whom make Giordana stuff ( quite like them) . So it’s an XL for me .

Ale bib shorts reduced from "£160" to £65 in black & white, sizes M to XXL available & spend another £10 to get £10 off with code CLEAR2021

Thanks just ordered, added a buff and the £10 off was applied automatically

I am tempted on some of these, just not a 100% sure they will fit on my Dawes Giro 300. Annoyingly I did not see them when I ordered from PX last week.

Only issue with the mudguards is PX’s ridiculous £6.99 DPD postage charge!

Mudguards are very big packages though ?

How much would you expect to pay for postage?

If your Dawes is a road bike then they should fit.

As below. they do come in a wheel box so as to not damage them. At £9.99 + £6.99.. they are a bargain.

It is a road bike, its one of the modernish aluminium ones, but I will take a punt, they will make it a bit more practical for the days I fancy taking it rather than the brompton to the office.

Just a small warning. they are a complete faff to fit correctly. You need a decent junior hacksaw or Dremel tool to cut the metal stays to length. If you're not that handy or don't fancy the faff, give to your LBS to fit.

I believe those in the know pop round to vickster's and bung her a fiver.

I have fitted some SKS ones on my Hybrid so know all too well how much of a faff it is, but well worth the warning.
