SPIKES
Surprisingly we didn’t get any response to our suggestion for selling on second-hand spikes. I know there are lots ofyou with pairs of spikes lying about at home that are in perfect condition and just gone too small. Root them out and bring them down to us and we will sell them on for you. You can put it towards your next pair. We have anumber of athletes looking for spikes and having difficulty finding them.
