Hi, im new to this forum stuff, so please forgive me if i sound a little prudish.
I've just purchased a Corratec Tiagra Dolomiti road bike
http://www.mailorderbikes.com/products.php?plid=m1b0s271p1819 and have taken it to my local shop to get it serviced and assembled. They asked me if i wanted any accessories for the bike, but i wasn't sure what they meant so i just said no! (silly me!) I just wondered what sort of road accessories i could fit on my bike and what you pro's find useful when your out on the road.
The bike itself is wonderful, and very light, impressive German engineering according to the shop i had it serviced at. I ride the bike Sundays for leisure, and managed 10miles last weekend, (despite the cold weather). I hope to do another 10 at least this weekend. I have basic Avenir cycling shorts and a bottle and cage... what else would you recommend for a novice?
oh btw, i also ride a RAleigh Amazon mtb that i picked up second hand in the paper, it has mudguards and lights, but other thajn that is pretty bare. help wanted here also!
