Been on here just over a month now - in that time I've gone from having intentions of simply changing the forks on my Orange e3 to get it back up and running to having bought 7 bikes from various sources (mostly the bay of e) with a view to 'tarting' them up a bit and selling most of them on for a small profit to fund further modifications...it's fair to say I've got the bug back!
...so I've plenty of wheels now, but no kit to wear when I'm riding them...being a little out of touch with it all these days I was hoping to tap into the mainframe of knowledge that is you guys and get some tips on what is hot and what is not. Should I stay retro or due to improvements in tech is it a no-brainer for safety reasons and beyond that I update certain accessories? I was thinking about things such as:
1. helmet
2. gloves
3. spd's (pedals)
4. footwear
5. bikelock
