    If you don't need the saddle you bought you obviously need to buy a frame to fit it to.

    Nope, next step is relegating the Boardman to commuter/winter trainer and getting something fancy for weekends.
    I say 'next step' as if I have the money to do that...

    Quite, I'd just lined up £320 worth of Campag on Merlin Cycles to drape over it, went back to Wiggle and was "disappointed". However, I'm now £400 richer, which makes a pair of Reynold's Assaults only £570 net.

    Unless you want to buy my 2010s for £500? I've barely used them.

    With the £400 saved that makes them only £100. Bargain.

    Come up at £17.49 for me. I have a pair of these, they only fit one of my bikes, they seem to not quite be long enough if you have thick dropouts. Plus they have a pretty poor action, I prefer to use standard shimano and put up with a few extra grams.

    Reviews seem mixed - some indicating it's lightweight and only showerproof plus won't stand up to regular usage ?

    Went to pick it up. came back empty handed. Very thin indeed, didn't seem upto much, but then I guess what can you expect. Given I already have a similar jacket I passed this time.

    I thought the point of this kind of thing was to be thin. And so packable and keep the worst of the weather off rather then a whole days riding in the snow or summat.

    Halfords are doing 20% off all bike accessories, including the Garmin Edge 200.

    Garmin are doing £30 cashback on the Edge 200.

    £129.99 x 0.8 = £103.99

    £103.99 - £30 = £73.99

    Thats not bad now, is it?

    Even better, using 20% off code SOS20E at http://www.royles.biz/product/9027/Garmin_Edge_200_GPS
    plus the £30 cashback from Garmin = £63.59.

    Are Royles a participating retailer though - they dont show the offer on their website?
