    Yeah, but they've just rejigged their entire website. Always found them to be good. Sometime even with good prices!

    Indeed, used them for years. But that website is much better. And adding paypal will make them an automatic go to.

    What's happened to their Tuesday specials? Spent a fortune over the last 18months on those miss my weekly lucky dip bargain fix.

    Oh it's there again, lovely!

    Looks very good. Pity I spent £160 just days ago with their old site. Still, quality service as per usual.

    I use them because they have free delivery to France but I've been waiting 3 weeks for my last order. Good prices though

    Noticed the Paypal card sign at the bottom of the site,but can't figure out how to pay by Paypal will only allow me to pay by Credit card...Any ideas

    Think there is a problem with stock levels on the website?

    Looking at new mitts and most show out of stock and the 2 for 1 offer they had on Craft\PBK mitts seems to have gone.

    They've added the logo to integrate it later. Shouldn't be long, they want to test the site's working properly first.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they had very low stock of a small range of sizes and they've just been sold. I've experienced a similar situation with other items from them in the past.

    What's up with the insanely high tyre prices?

    Notice a lot of items have one price and when opening them have a higher price.

    Castelli body paint advertised at £134.99 but open up and the price shows £161.99

    Also a hell of a lot of discontinued items.

    i like pbk, but tbh i can't stand the new website, it's suffering from form over function

    used to be able to choose "all" and it showed everything in a brand or category for easy window shopping, not any more, limit of 30 items, and after scrolling down, no 'next' link, have to scroll up to the top again

    the filters just don't work properly...

    from home page, go to the castelli page, choose type->gloves and you get a page with two models of glove, neither of which is standard castelli model

    hit the back arrow to return to the castelli page, oops, it's back to the pbk home page

    that's really messed up, now it's even more annoying than wiggle's updated site

    good that they now take paypal though
