Hi!
I have my bike- a Trek 4300, and have realised that I am going to need a few extras!! any advice on the following would be greatly appreciated- I only really want to start at entry level stuff (ie not too expensive!!!) there is just so much out there that a pointer in the right direction would be fab..
- Which type/brand of top/jersey to get
- Which type/brand of trousers (I would prefer padded!)
- Which type/brand shoes to go with SPD pedals
- Which type/brand pedals (from what I have read I am aiming for SPD's- which i assume i need the specialised shoes for)
I have another major problem which I don't know if it is common or I am totally abnormal!!! I get terribly watery eyes and wondered if there are specialised types of glasses ( I would need to have prescription ones).
I wont be doing any heavy off road stuff- or very long distance- and not extreme weather!!!- Only if i get caught out!!
Phew!!! Thanks for reading.....I know a lot of things like this are very subjective- but any points of view much welcomed.
Cheers
Kirsty
