    Hi SW3...I will keep you informed on any details I find on my search...the best places at the moment seem to be Summerhouse or Talland...I agree on teh daunting Talland front but like you said...you get what you pay for!

    Decent quality, smart competition breeches...recomendations?!?

    Well my rear can probably best be described as 'pear shaped'...worst described as 'fat shaped' so the thigh holding in pikeurs as Weezy so kindly described them sounds ideal. Jsut gotta find somewhere nearby that sells them now! Preferably need a pair by middle of next week!

    We are opening a DIY livery - any do's and don'ts?!
