Quoting does not seem to be working, but wanted to say the Fizik shoes arrived, and they are lush - clearly not getting any action anytime soon, but fit and quality all look and feel top drawer.
Also can't copy images in it would seem.

Having recently boughta pair of the lace-up DHB carbon road shoes recently I have now also bought a pair of the tri velcro strap ones in yellow - thought it rude not to at £20! I know many people reported issues with the thread for the cleat bolts but min have so far, with indoor use only, been OK. https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/dhb-trinity-carbon-tri-shoe

That seems very well priced providing they last.
I really like the look of those Fizik's with the Boa dial. I only bought the Fizik as a winter shoe and to leave the summer shoes - Sidi Genius aside. Now I find I am riding the Fizik's all the time and an upgrade as summer shoes would go well.
Sell the Sidi's... now there's an idea.
Anyone want a pair of Sidi Genius size 44 in VGC?

Merlin have got Ultegra hydraulic groupsets for 600 quid. Absolutely stonking value.

Anyone spot deals on summer kit at all ?
All sorted for winter gear but could do with a some new bib shorts ...

Saddleback have some very good prices on Sportful bibs which are usually pretty decent.
Wiggle also got an extra 10% off code for their sale stuff if you can be bothered to trawl through it all.

I think you will struggle to beat the £20 Endura Pro SL shorts at Wiggle at the moment. £18 if you use the EXTRA10 code (though you'll the need something else for free postage).
Several on here raved about them in the "best VFM high performance shorts" thread. I'm not sure I agree at the £100 mark they usually go for but at £20 rude not too. And don't worry too much about it being Wiggle etc. - it's a pair of decent bibshorts for £20....

Wiggle have an extra 10% code, BUT a lot of the mens Castelli stuff has gone back up by a lot more than that.
However they don't seem to have changed the women's kit yet, so nabbed small and medium women's alpha Ros 2 jackets for my partner and daughter for a combined total of £157 after cashback, instead of the £640 RRP.
Thinking even if my daughter doesn't get that much wear out of hers should she grow out of it, I should be able to sell on and not lose much money.

Thanks . Ordered some.

Saddleback now have a code for an extra 10% off the sale prices. Makes the Sportful stuff an absolute steal. I'll be ordering some tights and going to find it hard to resist a jacket.

MrsB just picked up a set of these which seem decent for the money. Nice, large lenses as is the modern style, good quality case. Sub £50 for photochromics seems good value to me.

Looks like the Wiggle fire sale is starting to take effect. Various bargains to be had if you search for them.
Tempted by an Endura jersey I had my eye on, now £12.99. Also spotted a Perfetto for 55 quid.
In view of their current status, not sure I'd be ordering anything I might need to return.

Just ordered 3 pairs of Castelli bib shorts, total cost £75 against full retail of £445... I almost hope I don't like any of them much, or life will get more expensive once these prices are gone...

Forgot to post this yesterday after seeing it on HotUKDeals...
£20/25 for 140/160mm variants, think my pair on my unused Vel 50 RLs were much closer to £40 each, tempted to get at least one spare!

Saddleback got a sale on with some healthy discounts on the usual Castelli, Sportful etc. 60% off some stuff.
Have ordered a Castelli Alpha Doppio jacket in orange for £140.

Alpha jacket is lovely - definitely a keeper. Back up to £175 now.

Merlin are having a massive sale.

Merlin and Sigma are going to end up with a bit of a monopoly (in this country) for reputable and quality cycling kit, wonder if they will start easing their prices upwards.

Regular checks of vinted still yields absolute bargains. Some XS rapha tops, new with tags, going for £35-40 at the moment.

I haven't looked for xs Rapha tops for a while, but not that long ago a seller on ebay (treasure4u or something) used to knock them out for around that price, bibshorts too.
Do you get trade sellers on vinted or is it only meant to be private sellers?
Never gone on there myself.

Not in my experience. Amateur sellers dramatically undercut pro sellers. There is no way people are making margin on that site; it's just people getting rid of stuff the otherwise would be taking the full loss on.
