Have people managed to get those Morvelo codes to work on sale stuff? Doesn't seem to work for me, just says that the code isn't valid.

Was on all weekend apparently, only saw it this morning when expired, but literally just clicked through the link and they're back down to £19.75.

Used one of these all winter on the turbo, did the job, couldn't say if there are fans that turnover more air around that price as it's the first fan I've bought in ~20 years!

Doesn't look like it applies for this fan, but worth noting that Amazon is now on the Quidco cashback site.

Make extra space, spend a few quid more and buy something that can blow your face off...

Code should be valid yes, a friend of mine used it on Sunday and Smokey Bacon used it over the weekend.

Ok, so not REALLY a bargain in anyway, but.............it is reduced by £1800 to £1300.

2017 Scott Foil RC Frame, in 2XL only, so for the taller among you!

What a stunning looking frame, didn't think they sold it over here, only ever saw the green variant in this country.

Actually, £1169 with code SPRING and a free Solo jersey. It is my size, but I don't have the money or the need for it, thankfully

Just about to unpack my bike from a bike box in Mallorca. If it is smashed into a million pieces then that will do nicely for me as a replacement.

How wide are the bars on 2xl? I can find 120 for stem...

Good call, appears to not be listed anywhere :?

I expect if you ring Westbrooks they could check and let you know, they were certainly extremely helpful in the CR1 SL era.

The itchy trigger finger has calmed..... Would be slightly too big, massive frames look lame, I'd have to buy direct mount brakes.
Does look sweet tho!

...... speaking of CR1's ... I've just spent 2 hours pi##ing around on mine cutting down excess sestpost and steerer tube to save another 42 gms :-)

Nice, it all counts! You need to update the CR1 thread

Mine is due new tyres, and possibly some new tape - though the Fizik stuff on there frustratingly doesn't want to wear out :?
I have some lush Supacaz stuff to fit - fitted some to my gf's bike at the weekend, and it's really easy to wrap, grippy, and appears to be top quality.

I want to like Galibier but everything I’ve had from them is just not quite right.

I bought some mitts that had the worse positioning of seams I’ve witnessed, between my fingers was raw after one ride.

I bought some arm warmers that were anatomical cut for each arm, the fit was just plain weird and nowhere near as good as Castelli nanoflex.

I got the Firefeet socks, the heel cup went baggy after one use.

The short sleeve merino base is nice enough but the sleeves aren’t long enough.

They’ve just launched a new aero overshoe (I do quite a bit of TT) that’s about half the price of NoPinz offering but I’m reluctant to get them because I just know something won’t be quite right despite the claims.

Just not quite there for me.

I haven't bought a ton from Galibier - I have their foul weather gilet which is superb imho, and also just ordered the jacket version since I spotted it on ebay.
The two pairs of shorts I ordered have been excellent, top quality pad, and if I compare the fit and comfort to the likes of Castelli, Rapha, La Passione, it's genuinely on a par, and for probably less than half price (Sales excluded)

The one item I did struggle with was coincidentally a pair of mitts, I forget the model, but it was part of a 'set' and came with a thin gilet, and a couple of other things I forget.
I too had the same issue between my fingers, and think they only saw one ride, I wasn't sure if it was just because I had chosen one size too small.
I've just ordered some of their leather full finger gloves, and opted for medium - my hand measurement was slap bang on the morder of small\medium, so after the last experience decided to try the next size up.
Hoping I haven't made a mistake now, as I also ordered some of their white leather mitts for my gf - went small for her as well, as she generally goes one size smaller than me, hoping there are no unseemly issues.
Reviews for the bulk of their stuff is glowing, and they don't strike me as the kind of company who would remove bad reviews.

Did you leave reviews for any of the stuff you had trouble with, or contact them?

Yeh I was tempted by some bibs but then I saw the new Q36.5 Gregarius Ultra and want to try a pair

The things I had issues with Galibier, they refunded me upon return so no complaints there.

It turned out I'm between sizes with Galibier. Medium jersey - baggy. Small jersey - restricted arm movement, shoulder width not wide enough.

It also costs a fair amount to send it fully insured back to them and then they took quite a while to pick up the return from the post office. Needed prompting. Their shorts are fairly nice though.

Are you aware that if you pay by paypal and activate the feature, you can claim back for up to 12 returns per year?
A kind soul on here alerted me, and I've used it to great effect this year - including one £14ish return to Italy (Santini) with adequate insurance.

How strange - try this?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/galibiervelo?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754

Failing that, all I did was search for Galibier to see what stuff was being flogged on, and their listings are the ones with the studio type shots - should be pretty obvious.
They have obviously been on there for sometime, as they have 5916 feedback scores!

Randomly (?) they have a load of Nalini stuff for sale too, not sure what that is about.
