Cheers, I think I'll go for a large. It's got to be worth a punt at that price.ScotRoutes wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 11:42 pm Err. I'm Medium. I'm also Medium in Gore and Endura jackets/jerseys, though I'm a Large in BB jersey/gilet.
They're a jacket and not a jersey so baggy enough to get a baselayer beneath.

WTB Horizons were £15.99 on Wiggle earlier. Didn't like 'em myself (or Wiggle come to think of it...) but others seem to...

I first heard of them on one of bikepacking.com "Bikes of the Tour Divide" lists (just checked - 2016). In fact bikepacking.com is the only place I've seen them mentioned despite them being London based.

I've seen a couple in the wild - look okay, very similar looking to other steel hardtails (Longitude) really.

Stef and Dave from Pannier used Big Bros on the Silk Road Mountain Race. If they suit your needs in terms of £££, size, geometry, braze-ons etc., then hard to see how you could go far wrong with them.

Loads of the videos on the Restrap website show their bags getting fitted to a Brother frame. Didn't realise they were a British brand...
There are theories at the bottom of my jargon.

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Yes, I also just ordered a bargain nano net. Ta for the tip!
Re: Bargain Alert Thread
I ordered a bug net as well and I received the Polaris jacket recommended by Scotroutes the other day and can confirm that it's very nice and an absolute steal at £25 (plus postage).
Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Would this bug net fend off the mighty scotch midge? Trying to come up with cheaper options than a new bivi with a net for lejog....

I swore I'd never buy an other Garmin but this looks too good to miss.
Garmin Edge Explore for £155
https://www.deporvillage.net/garmin-edge-explore
Not been on this site before but prices look consistently lower than Wiggle\CRC though postage is £6.99.
