C & D Albion Centurian '2005'

Advantages: Great Price, Great Components, Super Reliability
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...is the introduction of the Shimano Ultegra 10spd groupset. This is only in the second year of use on this bike and I am still unsure of it's usefulness. I guess that I am just used to 9spd. I opted for the double chain ring rather than triple. I suppose a triple may be useful if you live half way up the Alpe D'Huez but West Yorshire has nice rolling countryside so a double covers all terrain! I guess if you live in Lincolnshire you might want to opt for a different cassette 11-23, but I stuck with the standard 12-25. The look of the bike is of course similar, but the 2006 model varies from the picture attached (which is the 2005 model) in that it is black, silver and blue - to match the Discovery team i guess.

Advantages: Looks Fantastic
Disadvantages: Other teams will be jealous

...When an under 10's junior football team needs a new kit there are many factors to be taken into account. The price , the style and colours , sizes , availability to name but a few. My team needed to have the Clubs colours which are Navy and Red. After looking in many shops and at many websites the style of of the Strasburg shirt made by Legea was chosen. On first glance the shirt appears to be West Bromwich Albion crossed with AC Milan. The shirt really stands out well against all other shirts we have played. The shirts carry the sponsors name across the chest and a number on the back in white. The effect on the players was immediate , they all seemed to grow a few inches in height and confidence and self-belief radiated to all. Anything that can improve a player is welcome and when it looks this good it's a bonus. The fabric is very... Read review
