    Bought one of these before christmas for working on/cleaning my bike when it's dark-

    Blackspur BB-HL105 Twin Head 500 Watt Telescopic Halogen Worklight

    Only £14.83 from amazon warehouse (with slightly damaged box). Not had chance to use it yet though.
    You going to mount that on your bars so you can blind everyone coming the other way like the tw4t's I ride past some mornings.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    Hope that link works - it comes from the email they sent me and still shows £699 on the site (it's the upgrade kit rather than a complete groupset BTW)

    You can get get the Ultegra groupset and the Di2 upgrade kit together for pretty much the price of the Di2 groupset. Sell on the shifters and mechs

    Crikey. Anyone done a thorough check of the German sites to see if they've got it cheaper yet?

    Bike-discount.de (where I got mine a year ago) are still doing it for €999. I think £699 will be really hard to beat.

    Me too - seems a small frame for what they term a Medium - 525 horizontal (?) top tube - I'd need another 20 - 25mms but a disc-braked bike with guards is what I'm after right now. Nice spec at that price too, Sora much more the norm.

    Not your normal bargain (it's not on-line for a start) but worth telling people about I think.

    Popped into LBS at lunchtime today looking to get a new set of carbon forks for my road bike commuter .. long story short; they had two "left over" sets of forks from bikes that had issues with their brand new frames. Apparently the suppliers invariably say ditch the frame and forks - which leaves behind a perfectly fine set of forks.

    I was able to get a full carbon set of Focus forks for £35.

    If anyone needs a set of forks perhaps you may be able to try this with your LBS too?

    I recently bought one of these lights after trying many others. Delighted with it. Will probably purchase another at this price.

    I have my eye on a couple of things and wonder whether to pull the trigger after the next drop or try my luck tomorrow!
