Nando's New Brother

Just got pictures back of Nando's new ride over in Zurich. We weren't quite sure how the custom mahogany paint job and Black decals would look in the end but combined with the all black components this has turned out a beauty - one of our favourites to date!

Alpkit Gourdon Dry Bag...a cheap bag alternative

With the likes of Chrome, Mission Workshop, T-Level and a whole host of others we're truly spoilt for choice when buying a new bag... as long as you have a MINIMUM of £100 to drop, and you'll be looking at over £200 for a fair few as well.

Personally I don't have that sort of money to drop on a bag; and I'd rather spend it on some new wheels, flights to Berlin, extortionate London rent etc. So I was pretty stoked when I stumbled across the Gourdon Dry Bag from the British climbing company AlpKit:


At £25 this thing is an absolute bargain, it's got padded straps that hug your shoulders perfectly, removable padded back, chest and waist straps, a rolltop closing system and is 100% waterproof... honestly not a drop of water will even come close to getting inside this thing - I've seen pretty much every bag out there and the build quality of this can compete with the best of them. Personally I reckon it looks pretty slick and you're supporting a home grown British company by buying it... it's a no brainer.
