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

    I was thinking that too - however they are now no longer a clearance item and are back upto £90!
    So I think I may have lucked in on this occasion :D

    Shipping to the UK looks like £2.95 to me. XL appears to equate to about 36 inch waist btw.

    Don't think it's the real orginal price but they look the part, ain't tried them out yet, too wet.

    Where be they?

    You can buy them from StJamesPark.com

    Curse you Redvee for replying before me! Still, serves me right for staying away from here for so long. Yep, stjamesparkdirect but not online. Had to face socially inept teenage staff but I persevered.

    Sainsburys are doing these Tilda two minute microwave rice things at half price (seventy-something-pence). Now I know, microwaving rice is the height of laziness right? but there are a couple of brown rice options - taking the wait out of cooking brown - and there are lots of flavoured ones too, which don't seem to have anything too nasty in them. The brown pilau one I had today actually tasted pretty bloody good. I'm gonna stock up on them for lazy, quick and pretty healthy lunches.

    Isn't that more expensive than buying the bottles?
    1 bottle 500ml is around £2 no?

    Buying the 36 pinter is cheaper...

    Or you could go even more Rapha than Rapha and get a pair of Aldi shoes and cover them with elastoplasts - they'd look identical to these only pink :lol:

    25% off fulcrum wheels at ribble. Makes the 5's less than £20 more than a set of p.x. al30 after postage.
    Still undecide though. Might just keep my current "old skool" set and work up some man muscle!
    Still, thought you might like to know.

    Just to point out, Wiggle have 20% off everything (if you're an EU customer).

    Bought a Lazer Genesis (v. nice!) for just over a ton and a Garmin 800 which was down to £278 - I don't think that's too bad.

    Michelin pro race 3 £24.49 Evans, buy 2 and get another 10% off - just price matched this at Cycle Surgery, very nice tyres, well pleased with them

    Does anyone have any comment on the puncture resistance of the Ultremos (and the others for that matter)?

    I've had a great experience with the GP4000 (in blue). Looks cool and is blue :). No exageration, rode them for many many many kms - thousands and thousands, Sheffield, Cambridge, the Pyrenees, the lot. Never had a puncture. The side-wall is even unravelling now - long after the rubbers' gone past the indicator - and it's still fast and puncture free.

    (Others say otherwise, as ever with tyres!!)

    If you don't want the colours, everyone says the GP4000s are even better.

    Just bought some Ultremo's, they look very, very fragile.. i'd go for GP4000S, like RC never had a p*ncture in over a 1000 miles.
