    Not a bargain perse, but I see MAAP who I have never bought anything of, have a new UK site, and if you sign up, they will send you a code for £15 off any order exceeding £150.
    They have some pretty heavily discounted items in the sale right now, so you might stumble on something decent.

    I had a trawl through, but nothing caught my eye enough.

    +1.
    Last ever stuff I got was fake Nalini.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    That's really bad.

    Actual proper Nalini stuff is top notch I have to say, but then a bit like modern cars, all the vast majority of the fairly well known names all seem to make good quality kit.

    With cycling kit, the differing factor is the fit of each manufacturer.

    Yeah. Thankfully it was a cheap reminder that if an offer seems to good to be true...

    CRC have the EXTRA10 code (1 time use) to use on their sale for 10% off (No minimum spend that I could see), they have some decent base layers in the sale, Gripgrab & Craft to name but two, plus some really good Ale clothing offers.
    They are also on TCB, and now offer free returns via Collect+.

    just be wary about what you buy.

    when they have saddles, 'bars, etc in the sales its blimmin' briliant.

    can't fault their own brand 'bars, stems, wheels.

    their clothing is, i totally agree, hit and miss but their helmets get good reviews.

    really is caveat emptor.

    PlanetX have stonking value stuff. In the past I've had Vittoria Rubino 4 £6.99 each, Hutchinson Fusion £10 each, 30 meter rolls of brake/gear cable for £10, £15 helmets (one I'd say saved my brain in a crash), rims, accessories (hats mitts neck warmers etc) are sometimes virtually given away, Selle San Marco £120 saddles for £20- the list goes on.

    Rubino's are a great tyre. Supplish, tough, puncture resistant, lightweight, good enough rolling resistance, good wet grip (newer versions) a good all round tyre me thinks.

    I got so put off by the 'older versions', I never took a second chance.

    Many years ago I bought a pair of Challenge Paris-Roubaix from PX for less than £50, flipping lovely tyres once I managed to get them on the rims... struggling to find one at that price now... :-(

    ... anyway, Saddleback have 50% off most of their Sportful stuff at the minute.

    Nukeproof flattie pedals, for the tandem roadie a friend has kindly leant me for a bit, to try and get my 8 year old on the back with me or my partner on the front.


    They will likely then migrate onto her next bike, which she has requested will be green.

    :D No the pedals are bought, from CRC, the Tandem, which is purple I think, is the borrowed item :-)

    Haha, yep think I posted those at the tail end of last year. They must have bought a huge container load if them!

    Did consider a black pair when I was after some darth vader shoes, but ended up plumping for bontrager xxx ones instead.

    These are better value I would wager.

    Not sure if any of you have heard of Keller sports, but I have shopped with them a couple of times, and they have been excellent.

    If you buy a years membership for £7.99 I think it is, (check this) but I believe it gives you free delivery and 10% off any items (sale or otherwise) they sell, so you basically save it on your first order.

    Looks like they have their vat situation sorted, as there were no extra fees at all.

    Anyway, I noticed they have some Scott kit on offer, and they have really upped their game in the last couple of years, their kit used to be good, but the cut was not up there with the best of them, but I would say now it very much is on par with the likes of Castelli, Rapha, Ale etc.

    They have a lovely speed suit on offer, sadly none in small, otherwise I would have ordered:

    Plus this top of the line jersey at way less than half price if you look at the uk prices.
