    The Chain Reaction sale on components is really good. Got a 6600 bottom bracket, 5700 chain, 5700 cassette and A520 pedals for £95.

    Whoa, SRAM Force brakes for £25. Done. Thats almost as much as I'd pay for the Swiss stop pads that come free with it.
    yep i ordered a deep drop 105 brake for £12.99! just need a normal front one now...
    Aren't the R560 standard drop?
    They aren't meant to be... i think ive read something wrong somewhere. lets hope i can cancel it. thanks

    i'll have a look when it comes, thankfully CRC do free returns!

    OnOne Pompetamine frames 99.99 quid. Worth it? Saw a fellow commuter riding one, pretty much obsessed now. Any better options?

    That's an excellent price.

    Anyone spotted a bargain for a garage for n+9? The new bike shed is already full with 3 of my bikes, 2 kids bikes and an old bike frame.

    Ditch the kids and you have room for two more bikes - simples!

    Damn you on - one; I have hankered after one of these for ages as a first full build project! and even if i cant afford the other parts as of yet for that price I cant say no.

    White or Black though before I pulll the trigger?

    Black I think...

    The matching forks are only in stock in White.
    (Shame that there were no Glow-in-the-Dark Whites.)

    For the larger gentlemen of the fora, Vulpine are having a Clydesdale sale of XL/XXL kit which might be of interest.

    Latest email from sportspursuit came though.
    Around 30-35 quid off for Icebreaker merino base layers! Held off on the Helly Hansen deal and went for this. I think that's points in the bank for Keyser or Wrath Rob (can't remember who's link I clicked)

    Here my shameless plug for my referral code....

    I got two last time they were on sale and they are brilliant.

    So that's two more (limited to two per order) on their way this time.

    I've not got one yet - just ordered the stripey black/blue one. I think each (L/S, S/S and 'gilet style') have their advantages. I used to have a Endura l/s BaaBaa and loved it to bits so want to replace that, really.

    The blue black crew ones. Not the same as the ones I got before, but the quality is spot on. A million times better, warmer and more comfortable than my dhb ones.

    Royles now selling same frameset for half price. Anyone got any views as to why it's being sold with such a heavy discount? Thought it got good reviews.

    R5 has been available for a few years now. Maybe there is a replacement coming out?

    Bought an Equilibrium frameset from them earlier in the year, good to deal with. CdF seems like a bargain.

    It's steel, it'll be dead heavy and you'll hate it.

    Did that help?

    I've clicked on someone's sportspursuits link and picked up a couple of icebreakers. Look good for the winter months ahead.

    Recalling that someone (was it a Greg or Spen) wanted a Union flag helmet, I notice that Velorution are offering 50% off some basic helmets including this nationalistic one.
