Not particularly helpful but I have some neoprene Aldi ones for when it's really cold. They're relatively thin, so flexible enough to handle brake levers.

Other than that I've used a variety of winter gloves for commuting, including SealSkinz. None have been totally satisfactory.

I suspect that they were these.

I'm a Sealskinz fan, although my best winter cycling gloves are a pair of fleece-lined leather snowboarding gloves.

Back in the day I had a pair of Gill neoprene sailing gloves like that. They were great when you had to go out and it was chucking it down but got a bit smelly!

I'm currently using an own-brand btwin pair from Decathlon which're pretty good. (Just checked that website but they don't seem to be listed now :-( ), Before that I had a pair from Descent which were the best I've ever owned. Warm and flexible.

Grip grab neoprene are, without doubt the best, the aldi ones Fozzy describes are similar but about 50% as good.

Looking for a bike I found this: ribblecycles.co.uk ribble

My brother has just sent me this! dolan-bikes.com Dolan

I’m trying to work out how they are able to look identical - I know making a bike isn’t rocket science. They don’t appear to have common owners or an obvious route other than probably the same Chinese factory.

The angle and shape and thickness of the seat stays are very different, definitely not the same frame re-branded
