Road bargain spotting thread

petemadoc

People keep pointing out random bargains so I reckon we should have a bargain spotting thread.

I'll start with the silly deal on the Planet X pro carbon frame £199.99 or £249.99 with fork.

That royles deal on zipp 404 clinchers is pretty good too. £1095 inc the voucher

PX winter overshoes for £10 (not sure on the quality but I've had quite expensive ones in the past that still wear out too quickly!)

I was thinking this could be more of a roadie, performace based thread.

They are 'functional' made for both road and mtb.

Have a look at the new ones from Prendas for the 'sexy' look

The PX ones are warm, and overshoes, not TT shoe covers

The two aren't mutually exclusive though! eg. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/endura-equipe-superstretch-thermal-overshoes/

(i also don't see the point of the 'aero' only shoe covers... don't think i'll be investing in those any time soon.. at least the winter ones are keeping you warm!)

slim fitting ones look better in my opinion.. if we're going to wear skin tight longs and fitted jerseys/jackets.. then why not follow it up with some nice shoe covers?


also apparently the wiggle sale ends soon! there is a counter on the website currently showing 1 day 16 hours!

And Royles also have Cervelos on sale as well, think I've seen it mentioned on another thread somewhere.

Hi there

Courtesy of Wirral_Paul I was directed to the Wheebase website where they have some great deals on 2011 Trek, Cannondale, Colnago and Pinarello bikes.

http://www.wheelbase.co.uk/shop/1249/

Temptation got the better of me and I reserved one of the two Trek Madone 5.9's they have in stock - pushed them for another £100 discount so £1100 off the normal price.

Can't wait to pick it up and get riding

Bryton Rider 20e at Evans for £65. Seems a bargain to me.

The version with the HRM strap is at Merlin for £90 too.
