worst kit ever

A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

Welcome to the Addiscombe Abroad cycling kit export business, if you want Brooklyn kit, I am probably in a good place to get some. Even in wool if you want the real feel.


But man is it cold right now!!!!!!! -10 wind chill - and thats US money so I dont know how it translates.

No riding for weeks!!!

Seriously whether I buy it and ship it or just provide mail order addresses it isnt neccesarily too expensive.
I have noticed that bike frames etc seem to be cheaper here yet clothing is often dearer. I think the clothing is pretty much imported?

Hi to all!!!

That Brooklyn was a Belgian chewing gum company though I think?

It certainly was but they are still taken to heart over here.

I know of Toga certainly.

I remember a stall at the Nottinghill market that sold old cycling Jerseys.

As with any kit made by Kappa, the new Lampre/Caffita kit looks kool apart from one thing....where does your eye immediate focus in on?

That really is unfortunate. What were they thinking?

Hey Ian, hows tricks?

The hills shouldn't be a problem when I pop over as there's NO flat land here in Martinique. Been out with a club but they're too fast for me at the mo'. I'll get there.

The regular run goes up a small hill a bit higher than Box Hill with a 6km climb - nice.

What you doing in Martinique, virek? I used to live near Trois Ilets when I was younger - was playing basketball for a team there. Shame I wasn't into cycling back then as there are some great climbs, you lucky sod.

Phil, how small is the World or WHAT?

There's excellent climbs here...

The route Trois Ilets - Anse D'Arlet - Diamant - Ducos - er thats fun!

Or La Trasse - do you know this route up to Morne Rouge from Fort de France? VERY TOUGH

Its Matthew BTW. Virek's just a name I use online.

What were you doing in .mq then? I moved here with my wife (she's from here and all her family is here).

Sa ou fe, fwew? Oh to be back in Martinique...
Sadly I wasn't into cycling so much back then, just basketball, shagging, and beach-bumming. I was meant to be at uni but I only made it to one lecture before I discovered the beach and all the lonely single females on holiday :roll:
At first I lived above a bar called La Rotonde next to that big green grassy bit near the navettes in Fort de France, then I moved over to Pointe du Bout.
Spent a couple of years there and played basketball for a team in the 2nd year.
