Best place to buy lycra from?
Anything I need to look for in particular? I will need a pair of shorts and some kind of jersey.

Well I picked the bike up last night. 225 mile trip down to London, but on the upside the new car is built for cruise control on the motorway and traffic on the M25
Here she is...
I dropped it right off at the bike shop as they are going to set it up to my measurements etc from the fitting session I had from them.
All it needs are some brake blocks and pedals. I'm planning to use my MTB SPD's and Shimano shoes initially before seeing if road shoes/cleats would be good.
Hopefully get the first ride out sorted on Thursday after I have moved house!
