Thread to tell everyone what bargains you've spotted!

DrLex

Gloves ordered (at £10 - dammit!).

If there are any ladies here who'd like a black or neon yellow rain jacket, this Giro Neo is heavily discounted:


from a US company - Nashbar

List was £299, but on sale at $49 with another 25% off, so £32. Shipping is a further £20-odd, so £50+ in total.
Review here.

I would have bought one for Mrs Lex, but she doesn't ride in the rain! Sizing is slim, so you may need to order an unflattering size, as I did for the Ladies Giro primaloft gilet from another store.

Dan - it is yellow, but I doubt the cut is right for you.

Not sure if this really counts...Amazon Prime Now are doing £10 off orders over £60 with a code on their front page. That meant a Wahoo Tickr X should be winging it's way to me shortly for £55.

Not looked through what's available on Prime Now but Amazon tend to have a pretty good collection of Gore stuff at reasonable prices usually, so may be of some use to someone.

I've just ordered a chapeau thermal jersey for 39.99, I looked a them when they were 99.99, I am pleased I did not buy one at that price

Chapeau have got their winter gloves on sale for 10 quid, down from 40. Couldn't say no to a pair for that price, particularly with free delivery and returns.

The well reviewed winter jerseys are also heavily reduced.

Thanks for that, they are £9 with their newsletter code CHAP10%2016 - 8)

Damn, could have saved another pound with that code!

I succumbed and bought the gloves too
There wasn't even a box to put a discount code in though - not that I begrudge the extra quid.

May be the best genuine bargain on here since those £1 Genesis water bottles!

5 of those bottles cluttering my house up and small and medium gloves ordered. Got to stop looking at this thread.

Good price. Just a shame that my hands are too big.
And they look remarkably like my lidl winter cycling gloves - explains a lot!

Bargains? Dunno where best to put this.

I'm signing up to Vitality life insurance. Gives me a shed load of benefits including half price gym, etc. Big list on their website.

Also gives me £500 cashback in Evans on a £1k bike spend.

I've been with them through work, the cashback scales up depending on your "points". It's still good though!

Don't forget to use the 30%-40% discount on a garmin device though!

Yep, gonna get the Mrs a Forerunner shortly.

I get £100 back if I hit my points level as well. I think doing 40 miles per day commute should see me get to that pretty quickly.

Don't forget an Apple Watch 2 for very little outlay if you hit the points per week for the month, I think i worked out if you do 5000 steps a day plus a couple of weekend rides then you won't be charged anything for that month.

Free starbucks
Free cinema ticket.

We Vitality through work.


Also cheers for the Chapeau winter jersey in sale. Banged one with the 10% code. now wondering if i should of gone for a Large. Hmmmm

I was tempted with the vitatlity insurance stuff, but I've seen that there has been a lot of trouble with the data synchronising to give the points - think it was a BBC news article.
We've got an Axa thing through work which racks up to a 50% off things like garmins etc, which isn't too bad.

We've got an Axa thing at work which just spams us with unsolicited email offering bland or outdated advice on diet, midfulness, and general statements of the f@cking obvious.

Bought some gloves from Vulpine in their sale on 20th Feb, no sign of them yet. Anyone else got theirs yet?

Yep, that's the same as we have, but suddenly spotted a new "proactive points" thing in those emails - which is similar.
Note edit in above - it's up to 30% off ( currently maxxed for me at 20% off), not 50% as I originally thought, but that'll still get a 1000 & sensor bundle for £300.

My Vulpine thermal storm cap arrived yesterday. Very good for the fiver paid, but comes up small (I ordered the small as I don't have a big head ). Also, construction feels very thick and "thermal" so probably only useable in zero to subzero temps - certainly meets their trade description obligations! Might still return but will see if it will fit under a helmet first....

The Vulpine gloves from a few weeks ago are very nice and getting lots of use both on and off the bike. Just not "winter" gloves, for me anyway. May look at the Chapeau's but recently got these instead:

I don't know what happened to my order, of arm and knee warmers and gloves... money hasn't come off my PayPal but vulpine have my email address etc and are spamming me.

Worth scouring PX for bits and bobs of interest, prices appear to have changed overnight now the fixed Feb pricing promise is over, generally for the better.

I received my Vulpine order in the post yesterday. A massive goody bag of gloves, caps, socks and sundries. A lot of gear for not a lot of money!

Haven't had anything out to check the quality, but for a similar price to Lidl kit (mitts/socks etc, they look pretty good.

i almost bought this when i was in store a few weeks ago. It is a nice jacket but the shiny paneling wasn't for me. I did end up leaving with another RH+ jacket they had a sale on but for the life of me i can't remember the model.

imatfaal

My Chapeau stuff just arrived - that's pretty damn good service. Will report back on quality etc
