Cannondale Synapse Carbon Disc 105, 2020, seems very good condition

In fact I was looking for a new road bike to keep at my Mum's place for when I visit. This one is even near where I live.

Ridiculous I've got some serious deals. Ultegra r8000 pedals never used for £40. Garmin instinct hardly used for £105. Ls perfetto for my wife used twice for £35. It's almost starting to annoy me in fact! Castelli stuff with tags for buttons. I'll be hard pushed to shop elsewhere tbh. Good for selling to

Occasionally. There was a dura ace BB for 15 or 20 not long ago. Nearly bought as a spare. I keep an eye out if I need bits.

I was after a new chain. Looked on the usual sites and there wasn’t a lot of availability. So googled Shimano Ultegra 11 speed chain and a fair few came up on eBay but ranging from £11:95 to 14:95😳 I wasn’t sure whether this was a scam because although it gave the number of links it seemed very cheap and it also seemed over emphasise quick link.Ordered one thinking I might just get a link.

Turned up today came in Shimano box with all the instructions etc. Appears to be the genuine article and it was free postage and came in 3 days.

My bro who lives in Italy, and is riding to Spain in May to visit our parents, is looking for some new bib shorts.

As I have not bought any new ones in ages, or really been looking at bargains, I'm somewhat out of the loop, so just wondered if anyone had seen any stunning bargains.

Thinking where he is based European sites might be good places to look, lordgun, alpine trek, mantel etc, but just wondered if any mega deals had been spotted by you eagle eyed lot.

Size wise, preferably small, medium might work as well.

Thankyou 😊

Sportful are generally thought of as the budget price but fairly equal to Castelli.

Unfortunately this is the wrong time of year to be looking for shorts deals.

Yes a fair point, he should have thought about it in the depths of winter and not 2 weeks before departing 😐️

£70 rapha core shorts size small on vinted new without tags fyi.

Thanks will take a look - trouble is now he'll have extra import and admin charges to pay 🤬

I've advised him of a few shops that server the EU, and also suggested Siroko, pretty sure someone on here rated them, maybe @itboffin but I may be wrong.
