    These guys are selling Brooks C13 saddles for £99.99.
    All sizes and versions were available. First come, first served till they are gone.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    [It took a threat to take them to the Small Claims Court before they'd agree to compensate me for the failure of one of their Lifeline products. A fixed rear cog that they sold me was not machined properly and caused the thread to strip from my hub. Even when I demonstrated with a micrometer that it was outside the ISO threading standards that it was sold as, they denied it. Got there in the end though - I was only after £30 for a new rear hub, as I was happy to rebuild the wheel myself, but I told them that if it went to court, I'd be claiming for the rebuild cost too.....

    Nicely done. I like it when people bring justified actions against retailers.

    SPORTFUL Intensity jacket down to £147 at CRC (after taking extra tenner of the sale price with JAN19 code), most sizes in stock. I'm a big fan of the Polatec Alpha insulation used in this jacket, and have never seen this version as "cheap" before
    Black version now down to £125 with the extra tenner code :shock: If only I didn't run so hot I'd be getting one of these, but think this is supposed to be their proper cold weather jacket as opposed to the Light version I've just bought. Bloody bargain though...

    Whilst I'm hesitant to call anything from DFS as a bargain... I was after one of their fake Bambino helmets for a while and they are £34 in the Fibonacci sale. That is itself is OK, but you can still do the buy a £30 voucher and get a free helmet offer (just paying delivery). So, you can buy yourself a £30 voucher and get a fake Evade for £4 delivery (other helmets can be chosen), then use that voucher straight away plus £8 to get the fake Bambino. Or anything else in their latest jumble sale.

    I've got a few Carnac helmets now and they are all pretty good, hence I wanted the Kronus - and £42 for a TT and aeroish road helmet is pretty good indeed.

    The Bikerooms\Giordana.co.uk have a pretty decent sale on at the moment.

    https://www.thebikerooms.com/giordana-sale

    The vero shorts are on there for only £40 which is pretty good for a decent short for shorter rides.

    That black one puts me in mind of Blake’s 7. (One for the teenagers, there.)

    Joking aside, If I didn’t already have a polartec alpha jacket, I’d get one. The only review indicates usual Italian sizing fun & games, though.

    Damn that's cheap. Do I really need another one as spare? Adding a 20% discount on top from C2W scheme makes that almost criminal.
    I guess the OH won't notice though

    I went through two of those Topeak saddle bags in 1.5 years before giving up. The strap eventually detaches from on top of the bag so it becomes very lopsided and loose.

    I bought one of those cycplus speed sensors from ebay for £8 delivered, it arrived today, installed and working in 5 mins.

    Now to see if it continues to work

    In the Halfords Topeak sale there is this:

    IMO best multi tool there is, great price too (paid £16 for mine a long time ago)

    Good call - I have an older version of the Hexus and its great with the chain tool on. Bit heavy though.

    This is good value too and much lighter but obviously without the chain tool:

    Thankyou, just reserved one.

    Scott RC shoes - up to size 44, which is fine for me at Size 10 - £260 down to £120, oh and they are black and yellow.

    Mine is perfoming fine but then it does live in the bottom of my pannier bag, had the clip on bags in the past and had the plastic break but reinforced it with thicker plastic and all good again.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    I guess it sold then?!

    I ordered one of those 'yellow' trade team jerseys an age back, but when it turned up, not only was it orange but it said orange on the pack!
    It was pretty strange - the cap was the same as I recall.
    Swiftly went back!

    Looking for links for womens Cannondale Synapse.

    Anything recent?

    I got mine from hargroves Ooop North. had a couple of problems concerning how it was delivered. No Di2 charger, one of the discs was so bent couldn't put wheel on. All sorted no problem, but it was sent as if there was no care at all.
    Any good? Further discount if you trade in an old bike plus possibly some BC discount.

    Not sure if they do a 105 hydraulic version.

    Went for this in the end

    Evans have the absolutely superb Castelli Lightweight bibtights for £62.50 or £56ish if you have BC discount. In most sizes, just not mine.

    Highly recommended for the mild weather we've been having, not so much for the artic conditions we're about to...

    I cant actually remember when I got mine, but it must be literally near 10 years old as I think Ive been commuting with it for that long, the only problem Ive had with it is really the way it sits under the saddle, the rear light tends to point downwards rather than be square on,I did try for a while fitting it upside down which kind of worked

    was actually tempted to get a 2nd one so that Im not forever swapping it between bikes

    Ha. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen people mount them upside down, waving around on every pedal stroke.

    Been reduced further, £590 (using the sale promo code) for a Tiagra hydraulic disc brake bike that fits someone ~5'9" is crazy.

    That's nearly a price where it might be worth stripping for parts, although can't imagine you'd have much luck selling on the frame.

    Shame you can't get the BC 10% off anymore.

    Can you get the £10 though? Every little helps and all that :)

    When I used my Topeak bag on my bike and had a light on it I found an elastic band ideal to stop the light getting off and walking mid-ride.
