    Yup - they are an odd selection. Mine included a zillion apple, a few citrus, less still orange and the odd added-caffeine one. Others getting a similar mix?

    Have also ordered a pack of High 5 gel's - seemed like a decent deal at 45p each with the 10% discount.

    Also found these Craft elite bib shorts on Wiggle, works out at £34 each if you spend over £75, with an rrp of £90 - seem to have decent reviews - have ordered small and maedium as unsure of sizing - mysteriously none in stock, but doesn;t say discontinued, so we'll see I guess.....

    Anyone familiar with Craft sizing? I tend to wear medium santini, and small mavic if that helps anyone :mrgreen:

    I have a pair and love them, I have a pair of the lower spec ones in medium and went for large in the elites and they fit around my thighs a lot better and don't pinch as much at the gripper end. I have lots of craft gear and it's all excellent.

    I have the Elite's in black and white, they're great shorts with a great pad. I'm 6'1" with a 33" waist and am about 13stone. I have the shorts in a medium and they fit perfectly, but it's a snug fit. There's not a lot of give in the hips, so you need to 'wiggle' a bit to get into them, but once on, they're fantastic. I thought a medium sounded a bit small, I'm usually a L, but Pete at http://www.alwaysriding.co.uk assured me that they'd be the correct fit, and was spot on. Craft are a Swedish brand, they're made for strapping Swedes :lol:

    It's in the clearance section and they have no stock! My guess is you'll be getting an apology and a refund.

    Certainly right to be sceptical about the original price from there. Was looking for footie boots for my lad yesterday. The price at Sports Direct - with 30% off - was only a fiver lower than JJB's RRP and nearly £20 more than JJB's selling price.

    Again, perhaps not for immediate use, givrn current sunshine, but Sports Direct sister outfit "Field and Trek" have Helly Hanson merino/polypropylene base layers for £18-£20 (allegedly £50 & £60 list price). Bought a selection to hit £60 carriage paid as unsure whether medium or large.

    I hope you have physically picked up and felt a pair of the Muddy Fox shoes and that they aren't the same ones as I had a look at in Sports Direct a couple of months ago.... they were road shoes with less sole stiffness than a pair of Dunlop Green Flash trainers. Seriously - the worst excuse for a product I've come across in a very long time. £22? I wouldn't have paid £2.20.

    Sorry to urinate on the parade.

    I had a pair of those Knogs, received for free with CTC membership I think, the LED legs snapped off on both front and back during battery changes. I did mount them so they were always covered in muck and water, I guess they held up ok for the abuse I gave them, probably last better on bar/helmet away from water and grime.

    Hmm; I found I needed to size up- I'm 6' with 38" chest on a suit coat and I found the medium too small (hardly got my wrists through the cuffs); the large was ideal. Two mediums heading back to Mansfield today...

    just picked up a new 2011 Tricross Sport (Tiagra spec) for £600 from Rutland Cycling, still got 54 and 58 sizes in stock

    http://tinyurl.com/7xkxmf2

    can also recommend Real Cycles and their shop soiled bikes. Got a 2011 Genesis Equilibrium 10 (the black frame with Tiagra) from them for £540 last month, only mark was a paint blemish on the top tube which was not worth a £315 discount! Feels like it's worth 5 times more and very, very comfy

    £2k worth of bikes for £1140 and hopefully will calm the n+1 for a bit because they're both very good all rounders
