Cycle Republic have the Elite Direto available again for £700, I decide I'm going to fork out for it, but I want to use "Click & Collect" to pay for it in-store using my BC Discount to bring it down to £630...

Computer says no... Have to pay for it in advance!

ARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!1! :evil:

Use Halfords price match? Then use BC discount?

For example Lifeline seems to have been replaced by x-tools and CRC have taken DHB clothing’s

That'll be why the Lifeline disc brake pads were reduced to £3.99 then

I just had the DHB book through with my CRC order but I see someone's already posted the £10 off £60 code.

Last time I checked, ~10mins ago, it wasn't on the Halfords site.

But then when Black Friday kicked off, I think the Direto first appeared on the CR site, then Halfords (before being removed from both over the weekend)... So hopefully it will magically appear on Halfords soon!

Also Endura FS260 women's aero-gel gloves down to £7, really comfy, I can't see what makes them girly-specific so have bought a couple of pairs... lots of other big reductions on there too.

Edit: Gabba 3s are £54. If you don't mind advertising for the Murdochs that is a ridiculously low price for a quality bit of kit.

Clickbait post?

At time of writing - 1 hour after your post- the only Gabba 3 @ less than £60 out of all the available options is a black medium. ALL others are priced @ £150!

No clickbait. Yes there's only medium in plain black but search Evans 'sky gabba' and it's available in all sizes..... I know this as was debating getting one last night (settled for some gloves /castelli base layer and sock bargains).

Thanks PB! Had a voucher card to use, so have gone for one each of the base layers in small - £37 all in, not too shabby, plus no one but me will see them

Shimano CM2000 (1080p/60fps or 1440/30fps) camera at £64.99 at PBK.
Form factor & weight hold it for me over gopro clones for helmet mount (I've got a cm1000 currently doing that task) , but only 1.2 hour battery life is a bit cr@p

Not sure what the issue is. Have just looked again and all sizes (S, L, XL & XXL) are showing as £53.99 and in stock.

Hope no offence caused - but your post didn't make it clear that the price for Gabba 3 was for a Sky version ONLY- I see your meaning now.

pollys_bott

None taken, I've only just twigged that my initial post wasn't clear that it was the Sky Gabbas going cheap, not the plain ones...

Only in Blue in L and XL for that £16.49 though - the options that PB posted about earlier gives you currently all sizes for a fraction more, and I think is the same garment, save for the pattern:

There's some Ale summer tops starting from ~£23 at Evans, or at least there was this morning, I got distracted and forgot to post!

Thanks. You alerted me to the fact the jersey I ordered for £50 in the black friday 'sale' and applied a £10 discount code to has now been reduced to £30

Apparently they'll sort the price out for me when I pick it up in store.

Does anyone really care what a base layer looks like?
I generally wear something over them.

I guess it's more a case of if you are wearing a thinner jersey, maybe in a pale colour, and the base layer glaringly shows through - hency why I liked the Sky offerings, they are both pretty neutral and pale colours, unlikely to show through most jerseys.

N0bodyOfTheGoat

Silly question time...

Could I walk into Cycle Republic tomorrow and pay for a Direto less BC discount (so £630) and then go there again to pick the unit up when it arrives in stock?

... Never been to a Cycle republic store before! :oops:

The Direto isn't showing on the Halfords store directly, but if you google "elite direto halfords" you get a link where it can be ordered in and done on "click & collect." But it's ~£750 before discounts, whereas at Cycle Republic it's showing as ~£700 before discounts, but the price match won't match partner stores according to the blurb.

Pale colours don't suit me, and as for thin tight clothing.... :oops:
I do pay a lot of attention to jerseys!

The perfect winter training accessory to increase your CdA, needing more power, that could even have your bike reg plate attached to.

Other Frog bike deals are available.

In case this was not mentioned, Merlin are selling 6800 groupset for 380 without crankset, that's pretty good imo.

Arrggghhhh, wish I never saw that. Gonna spend all day trying to justify it in my head. Don't even need a crankset (or the groupset really for that matter), but that is a cracking deal.

Now, I'll replace the Tiagra on winter bike with 105 on good bike, 105 with Ultegra and sell off Tiagra........no, don't need it!!!! AAARRRRGGGHHH

But this would allow me to build up the spare frameset, and sell my winter bike.........AARRRGGGGHHHHH

Anyone know how the Pactimo site works? Managed to pick up a couple of jerseys this morning (on recommendations from here) but most of the day later it says “order unfulfilled” is this a wiggle stock issue or are they just working on US time perhaps?

They have a UK arm that handles distribution and returns for here.

I've ordered 4 items from them in the last month or so.

Longest ago was a custom jersey, which happens to have been despatched yesterday, so now says fulfilled, and I also ordered two LS jerseys on Friday, think they were despatched either at the end of the day, or over the weekend, and they both turned up this AM.

I think in the scheme of things they are pretty small, so hopefully they are just a bit behind with the volume of Black F sales.

One item I ordered 4 weeks ago, immediately went out of stock, which I feared meant they did not have it, but it must have been that I had ordered the last one - so from that I would hopefully conclude that their stock system is pretty on the ball - not to say the figures might not be incorrect at some point though.

Do post up what you make of the jerseys - I find them some of the very best out there, nearly as good (In fit for me and material quality) as my favourite, which is Ale at present.
Sadly their bibs do not fit me though :?

Thanks for the recommendation Daniel B. Pactimo stuff arrived today and it feels/looks good-see what you mean about the material quality. Went for small (5’10 62kg) and hope I might be able to squeeze a base later under it. Looking forward to warmer temperatures already (went for the ascent S/S and l/s jerseys)
