    Hi all,

    I'm looking for the following, cheap as possible, bleedin' recession:o

    A lock, preferably U-type with cable for quick release wheels

    A light set

    An under saddle bag

    A waterproof lightweight cycling jacket, Altura type thing, colour not that important, size M/L I reckon.

    And maybe even a comfy saddle for a road bike if anyone's got anything?

    Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long list. I'm based in Dublin, have money ready immediately and can collect!

    I have a small saddle bag- clips on to the saddle rails, quick release. 0.2L so very small, basically it is for a tube, tyre levers, CO2 and a multitool. €5

    Also have two waterproof jackets, here.

    dhb Wickham eVENT Jacket Medium €80
    This is an utterly fantastic jacket, 100% waterproof yet the most breathable I have ever owned. However, medium was cut too large for me for a close fit, so I replaced with the same in small. Wore it for a week in Spain. There is a small oil stain on one of the cuffs that can probably be removed. If you like your bike stuff close fitting you probably need to go down a size so this would suit if you normally wear "Large" on top (IMO.) €143 new from Wiggle.

    Gill Ventilator Waterproof Jacket Medium €25
    Waterproofing is great however it is not very breathable. Vented on the back. Only worn a couple of times.

    Both are 100% waterproof but the dhb one is the high-end eVENT fabric and is very breathable; best jacket I ever had and I have seen reviews saying it beats Goretex. The Gill one is vented and fine if you are not training hard, commuting, etc.

    I am pretty sure I also have a light set which you could have at a reasonable price. Will dig that out. EDIT: Yes, I do, Smart 3-LED torch type on the front (2xAA) and 3 LED kidney type on the back. (2xAAA) They come with the mounting brackets. €10

    In Donnybrook.
