Mongoose Sabrosa 3x9 '07 - £499.95

They might be a new name in city bikes, but check out the Sabrosa from Mongoose. Their affordable BMX building skills readily crosses over to making a best-value commuter bike. Alloy frame AND fork, hydraulic disc brakes, WTB wheels, Conti tyres, SRAM 27-speed trigger shifters... you would expect to spend around £700 on this kind of spec, not 500. The Sabrossa even comes with a stainless steel thermos flask and bottle cage. Espresso to go?

Giro Monza Helmet - £49.95

Giro call this a racing lid. However if you want to reach your workplace as cool and collected as can be, you could do a lot worse than speed along wearing the wind tunnel-tested 24-vented Monza, which is noticably better vented than any 'commuter helmet'.
