6'2 and 16st6lbs here. Just traditional fatty. Always interested to see where people get reasonably priced gear. I like the Polaris kit I've got

Same frame size as mine, I'm ~5'10" with short legs (~32.5" cycling inseam) and the torso of someone more typically ~6'1".

Returned due to a scratch on the stem! Would have cost less to send a new stem out than return the whole bike!

Polaris is good, as is Planetx.

Endura and Lusso make some decent kit, Gore Bike Wear is best I find, I am 6'5" and nearly 15 stone, but it is a bit dearer.

That is going to be a ridiculously good bargain for someone...

That Cube is a great buy, especially with 3.15% Topcashback on top.

Anyway, supposedly final few hours of http://www.planetx.co.uk/c/q/deals/final-closeout

I've chucked a load of "oh that's a good price and might be handy" stuff in the basket with PRFINAL20 promo code for 20% off, including 3-packs of Coolmax socks for £4, with the total being ~£100 and so qualifies for free delivery. But as is often the case, I'm reluctant to confirm the basket, because very little of it is stuff I really need!

Shame this Battaglin frame is not a disc version, looks quite tasty @ £490

I didn't know this - if you have Strava Premium, you can get a code for $20 off a $100 wiggle order. Just got £15.71 off an order. https://www.strava.com/premium/perks

Nice - even works on a premium free trial!
But I'm not going to spend 100 at wiggle... no, no no... no?

Does anyone know how you go about accessing the Strava Premium free trials? I recently got a new Garmin Edge 520 which suggests on the box it should be eligible for a trial.

There are various differing accounts online of how to register but I can't seem to get any of them to work.

Mine usually just comes up in the feed - I think I'm on my 3rd free trial right now...

Wiggle have some very good deals on SS jerseys at the mo.

£500 for a set of Garmin Vectors (V1, dual sided)

http://www.hargrovescycles.co.uk/garmin ... pedal.html

Got to be the cheapest I've ever seen a new dual sided PM.

Yep noticed those - another £100 to upgrade them to V2 models, but then the V3 will probably be available for a hundreed or so more if you get lucky with a voucher deal sometime in the near future - and they are podless, not that I have had an issue with the pods.
Wonder where they have been sat for that long, back of a storeroom somewhere perhaps.

Really? Not seen the Watteam Powerbeat then?

timothyw

Or powertap c1 chainring meter, or powertap hub, or FSA powerbox etc... There's quite a few around £500 now.

daniel_b

Fulcrum Racing 3's, down to £300.
BC discount chops em down to £270, and then tcb on top.

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/fulcrum-racing-3-road-wheelset-2017/rp-prod88636

Reasonable in this day and age for a mid 1500's weight wheelset.

10% off 4iiii power meters at Merin this weekend.

Those Racing 3 are £336 now?

Yep, price increase.

these might suit those with a bike that'll only take 23mm tyres...less than £25 delivered for a pair that should be able to tackle winter conditions.

the 4iiii 105's were 320 euro (with a discount) only 3 months ago... are now 426 euro and with 10% off its 380 euro-ish.
maybe wait a bit again for a better discount?

I've got the Xtreme version so presumably even worse rolling resistance. They certainly feel super grippy and puncture proof but riding them compared to my GP4000 SIIs feels like night and day. I'm reluctant to swap back to them.

If you like Vittoria Corsa G+ tyres, Pro Bike Kit have 2x 25mm tyres and 2x latex inner tubes for £67.99, tan or anthracite walls.
