I'm in full finger gloves in the morning now but I feel it in my hands more but I start further out of the centre so it's cooler there.

The PRO X-Pert Winter Gloves are on there at £12.99 (RRP £29.99) at the moment - they are the only gloves I have used that have actually worked at keeping my hands warm during winter. +1 from me.

Blandiblub

Joe Blow Sport 2 track pump at Merlin for £26.99 delivered.

Been after one for a while, since only having an Aldi special which probably doesn't go up to the recommended PSI anyway.

Also at Merlin Cycles, Topeak Hexus 2 for £13.49

These appear to size up smaller than labelled - I'd expect to be a Medium - Large, wonder if the XLs might be a bit too huge, certainly don't want tight but way too-long fingers will be annoying.
I don't think I have a pair of good waterproof gloves in my collection - many claimed as warm/waterproof and are ok for warmth but useless when it's heavy rain.

See Tricycleboy, when you're flying along at my speed the wind chill goes straight through your fingers (I've lost my mitts too so that didn't help)

They arrived today. Look pretty heavy duty considering they are not the X-Perts.

Also ordered the Giordana Silverline bib-shorts for £51.00 (totalcycling.co.uk). Size up though anyone considering some...

It's too heavy I don't want one. I know I'm lying to myself, I like the look of that for the price.

I was telling myself that too whilst my finger was hovering over the "add to basket" button... had another look today they've put the price up to £780 now, so that's it definitely out the window. Phew. Bollocks.

If you don't mind looking a bit like a gimp all the MCipollini range is at 50% at the cyclestore

Not sure how useful this is but wiggle are doing 40 quid off the basket price if you spend 200 on clothes... SAVE40 is the voucher code

Seen those advertised on a few sites - which has the best beam, the SSC or the XML? Been meaning to pick one of these up before the nights start to draw in - gonna go for one soon!

Another thing - does anyone happen to have any of the aforementioned Pizza Express vouchers they don't need? I'm trying to justify a new commuting steed to myself & an extra 10% off could be the clincher

Cheers!

Everyone get that CRC £10 voucher when you spend £49?

Seems a pretty good deal, I just can't figure out what to buy....

Just bought an Exped Cloudburst 15 from Sport Pursuit for £15 inc. delivery, s'posed to be £30. Appears to be a slightly smaller, lighter version of the Alpkit Gourdon. Waterproof, so should do for the winter commute...

Warning - This is a referral link and I get a fiver if you sign up, some actual good deals on here though and not spammy crap.

Yeah, I've just picked up one of those. It was an excellent deal with the extra £10 off via my referral links...

Does anyone know any valid % off codes for CRC, Wiggle or Evans please? I hate buying anything without a discount code but have a fairly large order to make and all the codes I can find have expired.

tesco value malt loaf - have you tried it? I'm generally sceptical about tesco value anything but if it compares...

Go to http://www.hotukdeals.com then on the top right enter the name of the shop in "find voucher codes". For instance there's a valid £20 off £200 spend on Wiggle on there.

Edit typo: it's £40 off £200
