The hand-me-down thread

Another newbie on a budget. Any gear available, or ideas of where to get it from?

What is your budget? I would buy a brand new helmet and make sure it fits properly. But if you don't mind shipping stuff back til you get the right size then fc moto is a good site with cheap prices.

I have a helmet, more looking for boots, pants and gloves. I'll check them out I got my jacket from 1tonne, which was great, but Im thinking I need to go somewhere and try stuff on first-someone mentioned there's a good shop on barry's point road? Also, does fc moto tend to be true to size?

There's cycletreads and all of the other bike shops to check out.

I don't know. Never bought anything from them as I have everything I need except Kevlar jeans which seem to be hard to find something that are stylish and not 500 bucks. They have a pretty good return policy so I would give it a go.

I have a set of old StylMartin Road Race boots here. They've had a bit of a hard time and gone down the road a fair few times. The right boot's shin guard is pretty fucked up from me getting mashed by the bridge at Wangaui, but still better than no boots for someone starting out riding on a tight budget. I have very dainty feet, so almost chicky size. Euro 42, I wear a 7-8 shoe. Free to a good home...pic 'em up at Boyle Kawasaki, or I can courier them to ya if you're out of town.

I don't suppose you still have these?

Hey there! Sorry for the delay in replying. I'm a refugee in my own city at the moment. I'm one of the ones not allowed back into my apartment due to the fucking car park building at Readings. Delightful. Pretty sure I didn't turf them out. When I'm allowed back into my apartment, I'll have a dig for them and come back to you. May be weeks at this rate though sorry.

Jeez that must suck. ... I don't envy you 😂 thanks for that, I really appreciate it it'll still be earlier than I can afford to buy a new pair

Yeah...it's def not a pleasant situation! I want to kick whoever signed off on that building after it was damaged in the Seddon quakes in the balls.

My neighbour just packed up and moved to Brisbane and left me some gear to find a home for.

It could do with a decent airing as I think it has been stored for quite a while, but apart from that looks in pretty good condition.

Jacket XL, Pants L (inseam ~33") and 2LXL (inseam ~35"), Gloves L, Boots 45. Jacket and pants all have the inner liners.

PM me if you want to have a look.

I can't really be bothered packing them up so if you want them you have to come get them.

The gloves I would like for using on my custom as the race gloves do not look the part if they have no other home to go to.
Im having issues with finding gloves that fit my big hands.
