Perfetto gilet, fluro in xl £55 at wiggle only a couple left.

Dynamic pricing is a b!tch. £110 today. Ended up buying a Rapha Brevet gilet instead for £45 in their sale.

Evans have the Sportful R&D Light Jacket for only £35, down from £180! :shock: albeit in XL and XXL sizes only. Ive got the original version and the Polatec Alpha insulation is fabulously breathable. Stonking bargain if your size...

Tempted and in my size, but think i have enough jackets/longsleeve thermal jerseys.

There is no n+1 rule for cycling clothes is there?

It's tempting (I've even got Evans vouchers to use), but wearing black/grey in winter is asking for trouble IMHO, regardless of how many reflective details it has.

I dont know if I want it or not but I just hit the old debit card and one is now on its way to me...

At that price, I thought I would buy first and think about it later!

Had it in my basket, looked at a few other bits and added a bottom bracket. Went to checkout and it was gone, now sold out. Cancelled the bottom bracket as it was only as a spare.

I've ordered one, you're welcome to have first refusal if I don't like it.

Could probably sort you out with a preloved bottom bracket too. Excellent condition, only clicks a couple of times per revolution...

There's a load of Ale clothing (jerseys mainly) in the CRC sale, starting from ~£40 before the £99+ 10% BC membership discount.

Almost tempted to buy one, as another breathable jersey for heatwave summer would be handy, to add to two sets of BR505 finned pads (they have resin and sintered in stock for ~£19 a set). Wouldn't need much then to get over the £99 threshold and use my BC there for the first time since having a card for ~16 months!

Oh don’t tell me about discounted Alé jerseys :oops:

Do. Not. Need. Any. More.




Can’t hurt to just look though, right? :?

Not only that but there is £10 off orders of £75 or more. Quite handy when I have bought 8 jerseys for £39 each in 4 batches of £78 a time, less the £10 discount...

Likewise, if anyone was after XXL and I dont keep mine, anyone here welcome before I send it back. Of course, I may well choose to keep it bearing in mind the price!

Let me know if you don't want it, I will have it off you.

That would be great thanks. Don't really need the BB, they just had a cheap XT one with no packaging as a just in case spare for the MTB.

Couple of nice long sleeve Ale jerseys on at Evans for about £30 after BC discount.

Also, some great prices on Castelli using BC such as the Alpha ROS jersey in Anthracite for £75, Gabba 3 in light blue for £54 (!) LW bib tights in black/orange for £56 etc

I bought a couple of the SS tops that don't appear to be priced :?: a few weeks ago when they were priced.
Not crap reasonable for training rides, one was full zip and 3 pockets plus a secure key pocket for around £7.
Like I said to my mates "they are cheap enough as I only sweat like a pig in them anyway"

The pannier bag that can also be a rucksack might be handy for some.

It might not be the the lightest of these three bikes, but £630 with BC for a 105 hydraulic road bike... Almost worth buying just for the components! :shock:

This seems like a good deal for a full crankset with power meter. 51/30 isn't ideal though. How do I work out whether this would work with my bottom bracket?
