It works because it gives me 10% off Halfords vouchers. So I get £104 worth of vouchers for £93.60 Then £30 cashback, and 10% BC discount. 8)

Just need to wait for teh vouchers to be delivered though...

Went in to Halfords today, to pick up a BB, after seeing it was no more expensive there, than anywhere else online, also picked up some stuff for my daughter's 9th birthday in a couple of weeks (nice Dare2be kids jersey for £6.40 after 20% off) and I spotted these... http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165643 for £15 each - £12 each after discount), which will suit my faux-retro commuter a treat! Mrs thought I'd bought them for her, bless...

What's wrong with the Lidl one then? I for one have no complaints, especially considering it cost the princely sum of 25 euros.

Tweeks Cycles seem to have a sale on Conti tyres. 20% off most of them but 35% off GP4000S. Might mention this in the punctures are winding me up thread.

You need to use more baby oil to prevent chaffing.

I put 2 in a basket and delivery wasn't mentioned until the very last screen. Price of £47.52 jumped up to over £55. Ribble is £1 cheaper for a pair.

No way in hell! I've only just crossed the threshold of wearing undisguised lycra in public - the idea of going out looking like a fetish version of a Power Ranger is not to be entertained! :shock:

Sounds heavy to me, and more expensive that this (although delivery might influence the total cost) - http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/product ... ottle-cage

Arrived today, almost exactly 24 hours after ordering. Thankfully, the "head sock" is in black.
Still, will help me evade identification as AA-themed Power Ranger...

the_fuggler

Looking forward to the headlines in the Western Morning News. 'Man dressed as Power Ranger terrorises local AA patrols on bike'

On topic - Bont A-Twos for 130 quid. Worth a punt?

mavic jacket arrived today - looks better in the flesh !! strangely looking forward to a cold morning commute to give it a try , feels like quality on and good 'primaloft' for keeping warm !!!

It has been justified with the financial adviser as my christmas present!

I finally remembered what the yellow, puffiness of the coat reminded me of:



Oh, for shame! :oops: I will be needing the balaclava.

Thanks AL, just ordered one of these too in Small (What is the sizing like and I assume the head sock thing is removable?!)
