    I have their old track pump. 3 years old now and still going strong. It looks like they've a new improved version now though.

    They've fancier glasses aswell. I've 3 pairs of the old cheap ones and they're great no worries about losing or breaking them as they were only a couple of euro.

    I have a few of their base layers. Cheap, cheerful and horrible looking but very good value. Perfect for the unmentionable season that comes towards the end of the year!!

    Not too sure whether they do bibs in their own range, but the PBK own brand tights are fantastic-I have spent a fortune on other brands and the pads are no comparison to the PBK-awesome quality at very fair prices. They are made by a Nalini company called MOA

    Just checked and they have these...http://www.probikekit.co.uk/sports-clothing/pbk-team-cycling-bib-shorts/10753813.html

    I got the shoes last time they had stuff. Use them with SPD cleats. Not a serious cyclist like some here but have done about 400k with them so far no problem. I picked a size up from my shoe size.

    A cheap carbon frame with a low end group set. I'd imagine it'd handle like a wet noodle.

    I'm sure they meet minimum safety requirements. The wife has one and it's pretty decent if a touch bulky (like most entry level helmets).

    If you stick a 1.50 gel in your cart it does. Just don't want to be stuck with a bill of a couple thousand for wheels I cant afford. Would love to pull the trigger just to see what happens though...
