Have not used Mantel before but they have Castelli Gabba 2s for 68 quid in their black Friday sale, so have given them a go.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with mantel ordered something from them on the 22nd december last year it arrived on the 24th. I d of had to have paid wiggle 1000 pound to have a chance of a three day delivery never mind two

I've used Mantel, no issues but do you still have to pay for returns? If so and its high value then tracked international postage isn't cheap.

Thick Mike

I had a double take on this one, thought it was Castelli Gabbas, 2 for £68!

What I love most about the above post is that he clearly has no problem whatsoever answering to the moniker "Floppyknobend"...! :P

Mine turned up other day, spot on service and at really good price.

I suspect that he is treating the comment with the contempt that it deserves.

Like most of what Sloppy posts, in case you hadn't been paying attention. I'm happy to dish back exactly the cr@p he posts daily. Frankly, I'd rather he didn't bother but, whilst he does, I'm plenty happy enough to dish it back. I quite look forward to his inane and vapid posts these days. What I find most amusing is that he doesn't like it when people give him the same abuse as he dishes out to them - hence the quote above.

Po-tay-toe / Po-tah-toe , Charlie .....
Anyway, back to useful relevant stuff as per the thread title. My Gabba 2 from Mantel arrived today. Brilliant service , great product, and super price of ONLY £68. What's not to like ? (Back up to £140 @Wiggle today).

MikeBrew

So... what a brilliant piece of kit this turned out to be. Steady effort for 50 miles in 37F with only a sleeveless base layer and nanoflex arm warmers(bib-shorts and nanoflex leg warmers also - obviously), saw me staying comfortably warm all the way. Wish I had bought 2 for £68 (each)...
Back up to £129 now @ Mantel, bugger !

Exactly my thought when it turned up and the fit was perfect. Yet to use in anger but seems a quality bit of kit. And have to say impressed with Mantel service.
