Thread to tell everyone what bargains you've spotted!

With stuff like missing items in an order, when it's such a big company I just find ringing them up so much easier, and a lot quicker.

Really....

What stem would these take? Is it the integrated type? Or is the picture just chopping off the steerer?

It'll be a standard 1 1/8th steerer, the pictures just look nicer with it chopped.

Can I point out that the Dedacciai Zero Replica One tubeset is the very top of the line steel from Dedacciai?

Bloody hell, one of the few bikes in my size and at a very low price... Awfully tempted.

Problem is, I have no room for it, no need for it and no parts to put on it.

pangolin

What size do you reckon for someone who is 6'2?

whitebait01

Well I'm 6'6" and I'd be looking at the XXL, pretty much the same size (TT and ST) as my Ribble. So maybe the XL? Dunno.

I'm similar to you and I'd say an XL. Not familar with this tube set but if UE says they are OK then that would be good enough for me.

At this price I'm tempted too, but I don't absolutely need another bike. Would you make it up as a SS or geared? Looks like fitting proper guards or a rack might not be easy if that is a factor.

It would be SS, to replace this http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40012&t=12887281

Crudracers would be fine for guards, rack isn't a problem. Hmm.

Doesn't it have to be SS/fixed with those horizontal dropouts? Not really designed for gears is it...?

pangolin

Yeah... it would be SS. Read 3 posts up!

Tiny diddy men maybe but it's a little large for tiny didly women

Rest of my CRC tubes turned up today. Always find their packing odd: 1 tube arrived in a big box. The other 4 turned up in a much more snug padded Jiffi bag :?

Thanks for the heads-up on that, just bought one. No intention to use it on my bike (never hassled by peds), this is for Scouts.

Best regards

Wiggle are doing the Vaeon padded bib shorts and tights for 60, I used an rarely used email to sign up for the news lettern to get the 5 off if you spend over 50 so I got the tights and shorts for 55, should do me through the winter. The bib shorts alone are 35 and the bib tights are normally 50.

I've got this one: http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/CLP ... ved_jersey and the short sleeved version of it. They're pretty good, I wear them every day, and have done so pretty much since I got them two years ago. Pretty decent "every day" kit. The zip has lasted this long, but the pockets have gone a bit frayed. Its not Sunday best.

I've got the Medium I think and its tighter on me than the display picture (around the arms, not just around the paunch!) which looks pretty loose.

pangolin

Did anyone on here by the medium, large or XL dedacciai frames?

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dedacciai-pista-2011/

XXL still available, will be going under £250 today!

These sportspursuits people are not the quickest at delivering. Was about to make third order and realised the first two haven't arrived yet ... I blame wiggle.

They do say they only deliver after the sale for that item/items has finished, I think the helly hansen ones should arrive around the 10th

I bought black/white large. I blame you. It has arrived and is sitting in the corner of my office whilst I wonder just how in the hell I'm going to get it past the wife. It is lovely - thinking about getting a carbon fork rather than the standard fork, no braze ons, very nice.
