Just a heads up. Spotted this in the coomunting section (don't ask). 63 pages of bargains/promos. Tiagra BB's for 4 quid for example, couldnt grumble sticking it ona winter bike for that price.

    Looked great at first but check availability before you get too excited.
    Bargains to be had though! :P
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    Same, except I ordered 4 BB's!

    I can understand them flogging all the 9-speed Tiagra stuff because it's been replaced by the 10-speed, but that BB is the only one compatible with 9-speed Sora which is still a current groupset.

    I'm not complaining of course :D

    A lot of the Tiagra stuff has sold out. I bought a rear derailleur.

    I've also - for some reason I cannot quite fathom bought a hub dynamo.

    Well done - you've taken your first step on a path into a new world.

    That path, incidentally, ends at a sign marked 'Audax'. Just so you know what you're getting into here. Have you considered growing a beard?

    I'm fairly new to cycling - and I'm still like a child in a sweetie shop. I want to try as many things as I can, including audax.

    I dont have the technology to grow a beard though. I have alopecia which means a few patches would be the best I could do.

    As do I - although the flip side is that it saves immensely on razor blades.

    Alopecia - is that the range above Ultegra?

    Forgive my "joke", I went away to have my tea and all the Tiagra gear was gone. Greedy gits.

    Bloody hell! I've just blown £60, now I'll have to explain why I 'needed' two new jerseys to the missus...they were a bargain though. :lol:

    I noticed the site earlier in the year. It just set any number of alarm bells ringing.

    Such as "too good to be true" offers, many items listed but apparently few in stock, UK contact is a mobile phone and a PO box on a trading estate in Wlitshire.

    I very much doubt there is anything dodgy about this, Rose are a well known bike brand with a good reputation.

    I don't suppose anyone accidentally bought too many of the Tiagra chainsets and needs to offload one? Very annoyed at myself for missing those. MIne is a teeny bit bent but not really worth replacing at normal prices.

    Annoyingly I had one in the basket at lunch time but delayed as I thought I'd have a proper look through in the evening to see what else I "needed"......

    Anyone got any experience of Rose shoes? I'm gonna give a pair of the road ones a go at £30 odd quid! Shame I can't justify one of the nice Campag jerseys aswell!

    Yes, and a couple of times ever year they do their 50% on Top Offers deal, and they provide great service.

    Their MTB shoes for about 36 quid (including the carriage) don't look at all bad - even include some studs for extra grip (just the job for us 'cross fans) and a bespoke fitting/removal tool, not unlike the ones that come with decent footie boots.

    ha ha just got an email confirming my order.....but it had 3 items, I'd only ordered 2, but there it was a NEUKUNDEN-GESCHENK.

    Just googled it, turns out it's a newcomers gift, what a plonker. Why didn't they just say Haribo.

    and a Rose mug. Well, that's what they sent me when I ordered some shoes from them a few months back.

    I do hope you're not about to start a new "blame Rose" movement ;). Actually, if that did happen I'd suspect it might be an attention-deflecting stunt arranged by Wiggle, and therefore ultimately still Wiggle's fault. ;)
