Winter Wear: Time to Suit Up
Thursday, October 28th, 2010 at 9:07 am | Written by Get A Grip CyclesWe’re quickly descending into the depths of winter, but turn them into new heights with some helpful keep-warm items from ASSOS. We carry all these–and more–at both our shops, so stop in and leave ready to brave the rigors of the Midwestern winter. Anyone else have a feeling this is going to be a good one?
Get A Grip Cycles’ own Ken Mitchell says, for his part: “I’ve got four Assos bibs and a jacket. It’s probably the most comfortable cycling stuff on the market. The feel of it, the stitching is phenomenal. Once you wear it, you don’t want to wear anything else.”
Here is a list of other cycling accessories product lines we carry here at Get A Grip Cycles. And more about our fitting services, too.
