Ultremo ZX £25 at cyclesurgery in a range of colours. Shame I bought a pair last week.

All black ones have been £24.99 at Sigma for a while now.

That's where I got mine, although ideally I would've liked red!

I haven't really put any effort into checking around and comparing, but these electrolytes and gels look good value...

Chain reaction are doing a price drop like their Wiggly counterparts, but it's 10% off every 24 hours. Very mixed bag, but there is probably some gold in them thar hills

Chainreactioncycles currently have a price drop on Sram Red Shifters (2011) selling for £251.
Good price if anyone needs this.

if you can fit this (ie you have the ability to run internal Di2 cabling) its a bargain!

That is a pretty awesome price. Shame they don't have a similar shifters/derailleur offer on SRAM.

They have the bottle-mount external (which is what I have). Di2 is fab

i also have the external bottle mount version. its brilliant.

Tempted by the Di2, have it on my carbon bike with internal cabling. How messy is the install on a non internal cabling compatible frame? Was thinking of it for my Lynskey Ti bike.

spasypaddy

i can get some photos of it on my caad 9 if you want. its not messy at all. ive used electrical tape as i didnt have the covers for the cabling and its still pretty tidy

Thanks, I think there are specific di2 cable fixings available for non internal cabled bikes?

spasypaddy

yes, there are.

honestly i was worried about how neat and tidy it was going to be, but its fine. i'll get some pictures tonight

Saw this on the Crudcatcher. Could it be the perfect bike for Rick to use in NYC? I actually think it's a lovely thing.
Like a bike, but smaller.

Looks good but the PX site seems impossible to access at the mo..... There must be thousands of people on it trying to buy stuff!

Due in part to the clearance section being one great mahoosive list of items. If they divided into pages, then they wouldn't be trying to deliver the entire catalogue to every person who comes to the site in one go.

I've told them about their crappy sort function too, politely of course..

In my experience, cycling retailers don't listen to customer regarding tech problems, they usually default to thinking it's your fault. Anyone subscribe to Merlin Cycles mailers? They never work either.

That really is lovely. I hope nobody buys it and repaints it - it's great as it is.

I don't know - a shorter stem might just make it fit him.
