Giant FCR 3

Advantages: Price, Components, Performance
Disadvantages: Lack of "street-cred"

...When I was little, I got a TCR racing set for Christmas. In those heady days, TCR stood for "Total Control Racing". Something like a Scalectrix, but without the slots, so the cars could change lanes. In July of this year, I bought a new bike, a road-racing bike from the Chinese manufacturer "Giant". It too is called TCR, but this time round I've no idea what it stands for. What I do know is that, for the money, it's a fine piece of machinery and over the next virtual page or two, I'll tell you exactly why. Spurred back on to my bike, after more than 10 years of neglect, by a declining level of fitness and an expanding waist-line, I started riding again at the beginning of this year.

Disadvantages: None

...These gloves, unlike many others, took me at least a year for them to start wearing away which for me is great as i train and play a lot. They have great grip and it has superb protection from injures like no other! The Nike Vapor Grip 3 are one of the best gloves that you can buy,they aren't at a ridiculous price like some other great gloves. I think Nike have hit a goldmine here. The gripping ability is excellent and they are also very comfortable even after you have worn them fo 2 and a half hours. They have a lovely soft foam palm which is not only comfrotable it also gives you better grip what you need. I think that the Nike Vapor Grip 3 is one of the best gloves around and suit most weather conditions so they are well recommended.There are many sizes so don't worry if you have giant hands or really smal ones....
