Thanks for this, been after one of these for a while to experiment with my reach.
Ordered one to collect in store yesterday, popped in on my way home, none in stock, despite the website saying there was, great. But... the chap says there is 2 in Sutton a few miles away! I'm not going to Sutton I say, he says his managers girlfriend works there so he'll get her to get it, take it home, give it to the manager who will bring it in to my local store for me to collect! Over and above service from Halfords, top bloke! And all for a 50p stem!0 -

Great stuff.
Picked up my stem yesterday and the guy scanned it in and looked at me and said (with disbelief) "This is coming up at 50p"
I just grinned and handed him the money.0 -

Neither of those links seem to be working now - I thikn they must have spotted the error.
Shame, as a shop nearby has both stem and seatpost in stock - though before they took the pages down, they were coming up as £2.60 and £4.00 each for some reason when you added them to basket.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

Can't imagine that these are up to much, but if anyone is after some cheap baselayers then they might be worth a punt:

I tried that for a cheap saddle for the OH. They replied a day later with this

for £13.30 or thereabouts. So another 15% off. Seems decent so I went for it.0 -

Trying Flubit now to see if they can get lower than Merlin for 105 Stis and mechs. Given Merlin are already cheaper than most second-hand sets on the bay, I doubt it.0

I bet they will you know. Managed to knock another £10 off an Ultegra Chainset! Wth Merlin already being the cheapest online.
Also tried FLubit on a Kindle HD, and they knocked £10 off that too.0 -

You don't need to worry about the colour. They will be on your face and so you won't be able to see them.0 -
