I've got a £5 off voucher code from your next £50 order at wiggle. Valid for 7 days. First reply gets it, i don't need anything for awhile.

Came across SmartWool socks in TKmaxx last week. They had few different styles and sock length in. the ones I got were £7.99, instead of the 'RRP' of 20. They are pretty thick, and if I remember right 84% merino wool! They were nice and warm last week in 6-8 degrees, although still felt a little cold in my toes at end of ride, but that's more to do with wearing Giro Factors, albeit with windproof overshoes.

Super grippy ride in this morning thanks to my challenge forte hand made tyres

Anyone built up their bargain Dedacciai Pista yet? Got mine posted to my parents so only got to have a look at it this weekend. I'm not sure whether I'm disappointed that it doesn't have the cable braze ons that were shown in the pic on the wiggle site. Also, the welds don't look that amazing and the logo on the downtube isn't on quite straight. It is rather light though. Started buying bits to build it up but don't think I'll have it built 'til after xmas...

FTTY. Sounding like less of a bargain every day

I've got their Grifos to do on the CX. I really want some 25mm Strada Opens for the Burls (nice tan side walls) but bu googlefu is failing.

is going to be on the amazon black friday deals.

Looks good and will probably be 30-50% off

It looks exactly the same as the tool kits Lidl had a few months ago, only it was £25!! £80+ RRP is a joke!

Yeah, was thinking that. Either bargain of the century at £25 or a massive rip off at £80

How unfair, this one has the word Draper printed on. Completely different.

If it had the words Park Tools printed, the RRP would be £200.

Ha, stick a campag logo on it, then you're talking...

2 years free damage replacement, no questions asked? Given the massive smash at Hillingdon at the weekend - looks good!

Mine may get built this weekend. Have a carbon fork to put on it. Although tempted by the idea of a disc fork.

Not 100% about the headset either - may get something else.

If you want cable guides - you can get these from SJS: http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/m:part-self- ... prod13059/ - the cable ties are too short though, you'll need longer.

Mine looks good - logo is straight, paint job is good, looks lovely. Finishing kit will be Deda as well - seatpost/stem/bars.

Sram brakes and chainset, Tektro black levers for the moment.

whitebait01

Ah yes! I saw this idea of fixie discs being bandied about... Sounds like a good spec!

I think I'm going for an FSA front brake, Cane Creek crabon TT lever, FSA MX orbit headset and Profile airwing bars, Deda stem and seatpost, V sprint wheels (miches and DP18 in black), stronglight 2000 chainset I think too.

Also, want to get a set of proper track bars so it's just a case of removing the bullhorns and front brake to have it trackworthy... Don't think it'll be built up 'til around xmas though.

Edit - Oh and I'd like to see pics of yours when it's done! Especially with the carbon forks, I rather like the idea of a pair of these on there: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-t ... Googlebase

That's the one! And they told me it was unique

Rucksack cover at £9.99
http://www.moremile.co.uk/product.asp?s ... P_ID=40480
very similar to the hump on, but half the price.

Also, i got my Tourmalet jersey through the other day, looks very warm. Initially ordered a Medium which was a little baggy, so returned it for a Small, which s now much better and a snug fit. Only thing I would have preferred is a high collar, but that's being picky. For £20 it's a bargain.

Bike Components have them for about 550 quid a pair, Shimano as well as Campagnolo freehub bodies. Not wishing to sound rude, but I do hope posters would ran at least a cursory check on the interweb before posting "bargains".

Lightweight Down Gilet. no good for the bike, but perfect for sitting around outside not getting cold, wonder if it would stuff in the back pocket

That would be ideal for riding down here - it looks 'armless, but the duck down makes all the difference.

In fairness to the OP (and then me I guess who commented on the post), a cursory check (ie a google search) show prices ranging from £733 to £1049. Bike Components do not show on my google search. I think your post would have not sounded rude if you hadn't added the slightly sanctimonious wording at the end of the above sentence . I think checking German sites as well as UK sites is a bit OTT as well?

d.mart

Santini clothing (up to 70% off) and Sidi shoes (up to 46% randomly) are on Sport Pursuit atm. Feel free to be referred...

keyser__soze

Some good multi-tools on there also, plus if you really want to look like the scruffy girl off the Cycle Show you can buy some of her kit cheap too, including the wonderfully-named "Her Pleasure" armwarmers

I daresay that I'm not alone among bargain-hunters in thinking that checking any and all prices against Bike Components (as well as Bike-Discount and Bike24) is routine and not over the top. This is assuming of course that this is not a thread about UK bargains.

I think if people were expected to check against all online retailers before posting on here this thread wouldn't have got passed the first page. It's just to say "saw this, looks cheap" it doesn't have to be definitive.
