There are so many of these brands on Amazon. I assume they are all the same. I've been looking to pick up some EVZero type clones.

If you're looking for something in the sporty casual (fully-framed lenses but with some wrap/curve), some polarized Sunclounds served me well. Got them at REI on clearance, but I think they go for $50 or so full price.

For big-headed people in general, one thing that has served me well is finally learning that lens and bridge width measurements a) are a thing and b) are often printed on the inside of the stem of the glasses. I now know not to even bother with trying on anything smaller than ~58mm and ~17mm (lens, bridge). Try some stuff on, get an idea of what measurement ranges work well for you for a given style and it'll make the process a little easier and less ambiguous than user opinion.

I have a massive head and know exactly what you mean. The Rivbos fit/stretch nicely and are comfortable all day long for me.

As an aside, my massive noggin has also resulted in a lot of cycling caps I've bought/received as gifts being basically unusable. I've found that the cotton caps from Walz fit nicely.

I know what you mean. The XL caps from Walz are the only caps I can wear (I've got a light wool one from when they were doing a Yehuda Moon cross promotion and a performance fabric one). I went with the Rivbos 831 glasses and they fit well. Still trying to decide if the lenses I got were dark enough as everything takes on a blue-ish tinge, but they are comfortable.

There was a discount code to purchase wheels from the Bicycle Wheel Warehouse. Does anyone have that code, and is it still valid?

Update.. Jenson now has B&W version of this shoe at $99
tempting for an extra (but currently not really necessary) pair

im totally new to bikes. just wanted to pick up a starter bike with a small budget.

this is up for £125. any idea if its worth buying? the problem im having with these second hand bikes is its difficult to google them and find out information as barely info is given with them.

Thanks.

The bike seems to be unavailable, but here goes anyway: Ribble is a big online UK based retailer, and they make their "house brand" of bicycles. They are pretty well regarded as far as budget friendly bikes go. Not as nice or good as the big name brands perhaps, but you pay a lot less as well.

If the bike was in good condition, I'd say 125 pounds is not a bad deal for a decent aluminium bike with carbon forks. Sora is the lower end Shimano Groupset.

For a first road bike, I'd say look for an aluminum frame with Carbon forks, and Shimano Tiagra or better (105, Ultegra). If you are just going to ride very casually, you can go with Shimano Claris or Sora (the most budget groupsets) as well. Also be sure to test ride the bike, as the fit / size is important! Good luck!

Thanks for the heads up on this, the 'black' color ways seems pretty unbranded with the Sky stuff so that's good. Probably will end up matching my Kask Sky helmet that I took the logos off (but still has some of the blue).

I'd grab a set of these bibs in a heartbeat, but it's XXXL and XXL only(I need L). They had XL when I posted the link.

Excel has Castelli Free Aero Race bibs for $120 if you wear L or XL

Damn. Looks like their merino socks (which are my favorite socks evar) are only available in Small.

edit: looks like BC has some in other sizes, but only really short or really tall.

Big sale on many things at REI through 5/27. Ortleib bags 25% off, for example. Also Garmin 520+ 25% off.

I wish the Wahoo units would go on sale instead of Garmin. They never go on sale and are not even sold on places like Ebay.

maartendc

Ortlieb bags are nice. But I would pass on the Garmin 520. The newer Garmin 530 is out, and it is way better. This is just a way for them to get rid of outdated inventory, but no way I would buy the Garmin 520. Riddled with bugs and slow.
