    Wiggle's "saver10" discount code was working yesterday for existing customers (not just new customers) - £10 off £50+ spend
    It also works twice if you make two separate orders, and Gold discount :lol:

    Order cancelled this morning as "out of stock" - hmmm I've got a feeling they never had them in stock in the first place!

    The "company" had a non UK contact number with £3 something delivery. I don't think they are ever coming back in stock.

    That code has been a rare treat. Been a long time since Wiggle had any codes on the go whatsoever apart from the usual Gold and Platinum discounts.

    10 quid off a 50 quid spend is really pretty good when their prices are so competitive to begin with.

    Presumably it doesn't also work if you use a pricematch code? If not, you have to slightly overpay for everything to get the £10 off. Guess that's cheaper still but without it I can't remember the last time Wiggle were cheapest for anything.

    £1 for a pack of nutrition stuff on wearetribe.co - however, looks like you have to sign up to a monthly delivery at £8.65 (which I guess you could cancel)

    Code is CYCLINGPLUS1
    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    Have to say it is good stuff, tasty and easy to eat. I did the trial and kept it for a few months, but £8 just felt a bit much vs what I'd usually spend on fig rolls and stroopwafel.

    Don't know how much of a bargain this is, but Tredz have the perfetto in the Mirage colour scheme, for £99.99 - plus cashback of course.

    Other colours are £113.

    Trying to persuade myself that I do not want\need one, as I love that colour scheme - but I have an Alpha and Gabba jersey already, and a SS Perfetto, so I do not think it would give me much in addition?
    Other than a nice new jersey that is.........with yellow stripes on........

    ^ Liking that. Can anyone advise on how they size up? 6'0, 39" chest and Rapha medium fits (but a little short); I'm thinking Large.

    Isn't the ls perfetto the same as the old ls gabba?

    I actually find the long sleeve version more versatile than the short sleeve gabba, because of the vents.

    I would wager a small amount of BTR's cash that you would be a large,(Edited) Medium Castelli generally always fits me nicely, and I'm a 37" chest - However the Gabba as mentioned on the next page is a bit more roomy around the shoulders, so I had a nice race fit with a Small.

    I wonder if the cut is identical to that of the Gabba.

    I think if I get one, I would try a Medium.

    And yes I appreciate it is basically a new gabba, but hey they say it has improvements........
    And it has that yellow stripe, which my Cannondale emblazoned Gabba does not.

    Large.

    Am 5'11 and 38" chest = Large in castelli tops except the gabba which I found a little bit looser around the shoulders so have medium. I guess it's a bit bigger to accommodate another jersey underneath.

    Agree large.

    I will have to amend my previous post, every other top i have in Castelli fits me nicely in a medium, but your post reminded me I gambled on a Small from cyclestore I think it was, when they were knocking them out for £60 or so, and was amazed it fitted nicely.
    I do not have broad shoulders though, so I guess if the good doctor does, then Large should fit the bill.
    Wonder if the Perfetto follows the same size and cut of the Gabba.

    FFS - please can such discussions be split off to the 'Thread to ask everyone what size clothing you should buy'

    Finding a bargain on this thread is becoming like a needle in a haystack.

    Still, lest anyone find this off topic, Pro Lite Garda wheelset for £80:
    https://www.bricklanebikes.co.uk/pro-li ... lset-black

    Good cheap wheels for heavy/strong riders.

    I like it, it's like TK Maxx/ a jumble sale.

    Proper bargain hunting.

    But we're discussing the bargains available.... It's only a bargain if it fits.

    +1 piece of hay for the pointless response.

    I think it adds to the thread, and the most queries and replies you usually get about an item, is maybe half a dozen, and I would assume if anyone else drops in, that would help them make a decision too.
    We are in the 'Chat' forum after all - IMHO.

    But anyway, to fulfill the criteria, here are some excellent arm warmers, of which I own a pair (And they are only bl00dy yellow), for 70% off:

    Fill your ummmmm, arm warmers I guess.

    Folks - the Long Sleeve Perfetto IS the Gabba - its just been renamed. So fit etc will be the same as the Gabba because that is what it is. Someone on here said they had an LS Gabba and was thinking about this - dont, you already have it...

    I don't see that as a valid reason for not buying a bargain.

    Wow, 10% BC discount plus top cashback at 2.3%, and I make that £1833. Quite the deal.

    Under 7.4kg for the 53cm, would be pretty easy to get that down to 6.8kg or less.

    Plus the £10 off when you spend £75! :wink:
