    It went in the basket at £95 when first posted. Good luck going in and showing the screen on your mobile but worth a try if local I guess...

    When I went in today the manager even said the price must be wrong but he still honoured it with BC discount on top so £85.50! Wish I got one for each wrist now lol.

    I’ve got an email confirmation for click and collect today. Shows £95 to pay. Not sure though - anyone willing to chip in some reasons for why they’re worth the money?

    Well I’m going to assume that you think the watch is brilliant because the option where you’re making a sarcastic comment about the question would paint you in a bit of a negative light given that it’s a perfectly valid thing to ask. Just interested in knowing what others think of the watch given that I have the option of not bothering to pick it up.

    read the dcrainmaker review - he reviews all these devices far more thoroughly than you would actually want and leaves no stone unturned. Just bear in mind that he is judging it at the normal selling price when he suggests its not as good value as the opposition.

    Havent tried mine yet. If its good, I hope to get the second one I have on order for my son.

    I think if you have reserved it and had confirmation its ready to collect then you should be fine because the store paperwork will have it at the price you ordered. They do have the option to refuse to sell it to you if they think it was a misprice though - there is no contract between you at that price, but hopefully you will be OK. I went to get mine yesterday just to play it safe and so that I didnt have to wonder overnight if they would honour it.

    For £95 it's a bargain because it will do most activities you might find yourself doing. So, swimming, skiing, cycling, running, stand up paddle boarding, etc.

    The only thing it won't do is GPS outdoor swimming, though, like the Forerunner, you may get a signal and it may work.

    Great step counter, good HR.

    For something useful to take on holiday, wear on other sports it's a really tidy piece of kit.

    Well I went for it. Seems good, just a bit big on my stupidly thin wrist! Thanks for the push :)

    It is big. The new Vivoactive 3 is more watch like, but that's £275.

    It might be a false economy to upgrade to hydraulics at your leisure, but it includes various nicer PX road/adventure bikes with mechanical brakes, including the Space Chicken and Pickenflick for £1200.

    The Holdsworth Elan Apex1 Hydraulic for £700 doesn't look bad these days, if steel frames are your cup of tea.

    Haha! I picked mine up Friday evening and was told by staff I was very lucky as the price was wrong. Apparently the team was told to honour all orders placed at that price, so paid my £95.

    I have a 6yo forerunnner that is starting to turn itself off on longer rides and so it needed replacing. I won't get a new forerunner at this price, this has way better features, so definitely was a bargain! I will use this for running, cycling and the odd attempt in the pool. It looks huge on my tiny wrists, but when riding I mount it on my bars and use a chest HR strap. Saturday it survived a +7hr ride in the rain and I still have 3 1/2hrs of battery life. Wouldn't pay full price for this as I'm not fussed about it pairing to my phone, steps, or wearing it daily as a watch.

    Happy customer :D

    Great find! Shame they are only available in black though, and I've still got 3 pairs of unopened aldi black armwarmers.
    Not sure having just waterproof arms is of help... ( looks out the window... oh...)

    OOS now but a great deal for those who got them. I hope it's just an end of season sale and not end of the line... I tried out so many different arm warmets before ending up with these and they're excellent.

    Bagged a pair of Castelli Nanoflex+ armwarmers for £26 including postage today from Start Fitness.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Tektro brakes. What a weird thing to build. I could see a Rival one with some lighter wheels being a good crit bike. Odd spec. I'm not even sure it's worth it to get SRAM Red....

    That was the only reason I posted it - to swap over the SRAM Red and sell on/ use the rest as a winter bike. Inot sure you can by the full groupset for less than a grand (obvs minus the brakes).

    The same bike is only £150 cheaper with SRAM Rival.

    £999.94 at Fudges. So, you should, in theory, be up. That said, they've slashed the price of the RT58 frame and fork to £100! I reckon you could get £200 by selling the bits. But you'd then need the Aerolink for about that price. Could be done. Bit of a pain.

    Good spot, absolute bargain for hydraulic road bike at £630 with the BC discount.

    See viewtopic.php?f=40044&t=13074495&start=220 for tyre clearance and mudguard options, so annoying about how long Cube are delaying the re-introduction of their guards after last year's recall. Might have to go the clip-on route myself.

    I realise this is a good deal but how good is the bike really? Take the hydraulic disc brakes out of the equation (i realise this is the main draw of the bike) but is the frame any good compared to other brands? Not knocking the bike at all just curious to know what people think. May consider one of these as a replacement for the current commuter hybrid I have.
