    They seem to have RRP as £1299 and a previous price as £1399 too - though, yes, currently £999 - still 25% more than Costco

    Going pretty soon, and would have to suit your size taste specs, but if you're in the market for a decent alloy winter bike at a cheapo price then could be for you...

    It's gone! Listing ended; no bids, so seller either spooked by lack of bidding or has sold elsewhere.

    Have a requirement to replace (3 pairs of) my old cannondale (slightly compressive) awesome shorts with some lightweight bibs. The Sky ones that popped up a while back were okay, but less compressive (ie more stretchy lycra) and the pad is not the best in terms of shape, profile etc. Any ideas?

    Only one left now. I hope you get it willy b! :D

    I also bought one, I know I have my phone (SGS2) which does the job well but I am not keen on taking it on rides as I fear it might get broken.

    High5 gels, Zero electrolyte tabs, and some other stuff cheap at SportPursuit.com. I got 2 boxes of the caffeine gels for pretty much 1/2 price :)

    Lidl bike week from 5th July. Includes workstands for £29.99. Not the most robust, but for occassional use they are useful.

    sorry for this but I have a Velomann bike stand somone can have for £30 if interested, it's the type that sits under the BB so no good to me anymore. i know this is not classified just thought I'd say incase it's a better option than Lidl.

    Workstand looks OK, but dont think much of the wall rack - it seems to be bending under the weight even in their own picture!

    Since the workstand looks to be the same as last year's model, can anyone offer an opinion based on experience? Worth £30 or should one save up & spend more on an EBC/planet X/Park Tools one?

    (With mudguards on the wet weather commuter, I'd prefer the top tube/seat tube clamp type, rather than the BB & axle type)

    I bought it last year, only used it a few times but it's good and sturdy, does the job fine. Haven't used any others but no complaints with the lidl one.

    Tempted; but that means that will be £30 of the new bike fund gone, i really must resist if i ever want to get the n+1.

    I bought a stand last year. Used it a fair bit. For the money it works well. Stripped out a bolt but thats it.

    Done maintenance on my Full Boinger Santa Cruz Blur and the road bike.

    Garmin Edge 200's Cheap !

    £30 cash back from Garmin (upload your receipt plus a photo of your 'old' computer)
    Halfords 20% off accessories.
    British Cycling (if you are amember) - Download the Halfords 10% off voucher (need your membership card on you in store - not available on line) - you can reserve the item for store pick up though.

    Brings the £130 price tag down to £63. Got one last night. The shop assistant joked, 'have you got any more discounts ?' after the 10% and 20%, I said 'yes Garmin £30 cash back'. The guy just laughed !

    On-line cash back form with Garmin is a doddle, just upload the scan of receipt and old computer picture, and give them your bank details and they will transfer it to you.

    You are a few days behind the curve, but its a deal so good that its worth posting again! I picked up mine last night too. Just had to wait for the British Cycling membership card to come through - got membership for £10.80 so its already paid for itself in discount at Halfords...!

    Sill not sure why I bought one as I have an 800 already! It will be good as a backup and for my son to use I guess...

    Thanks to you (& Whitebait01) for the info. - I suspect you may have bought yours from where I'll be heading next week!

    Ah, checked back but not far enough to see the deal had been mentioned.

    I have a 705, but the 200 will be for the commuter - blooming bargain at £63.

    Just found out I get a further 10% discount at Halfords through work. that makes the 200 £56!

    Any idea how quick the cashback gets into your account?

    The British Cycling voucher is not valid with any other code or voucher (unless you get someone who doesnt pick this up at the till!) so might not work with your work discount. It works with the 20% because this is a 'real' promotion and not a code or voucher and it works with the cashback because that is done with Garmin and not Halfords.

    You might get lucky, but dont count your chickens...!
