I understand from a fellow forum rider that their clothing range is Assos. Not sure I will be a regular customer.

I have cycled past a few times over the last couple of months.

(Note the operative word in that sentence: 'past')

Think I'll be sticking with the clothing range at Asda.

I've been in.

To borrow a phrase, I looked like a lost lamb in a slaughterhouse.

Assos clothing throughout & Pinarello bikes. Cheapest bike was £1k, think most expensive was about £12k. They had some team sky coloured bikes and GB coloured bikes.

They were still finishing stuff when I was in - there's some kind of full length counter downstairs with a few tv screens up - no idea what the counter is for.

The store, through my eyes, is a cross between a high-end car showroom and a high end clothes shop. Horrible-hated it.

We've been discussing this at work and in particular how long it will last.

It's only a matter of time if they keep selling SKY kit - Barpha are the new SKY clothing sponsors

Ugly bikes. Ugly ugly bikes. I've never seen a single one that I desired.

I even rode the £8kish Dogma and as I saw my reflection in a shop window thought 'This is ugly as sin'.

But the Pinarello looked good ?

Each to their own, but how can anyone describe this as an ugly bike.
