in Road buying advice
About one week ago I noticed Aeron bibshorts were priced at £60 and their Aeron Speed bibshorts were £80.75. Now they are each priced at £75. That's a £15 hike for one and a £5 drop for the others. It seems very strange. Particularly the 25% increase on the Aerons which seems very excessive at the moment. Anybody any ideas on these strange pricing variations.
I have contacted them by email but have received no reply as yet.

    They often do this. Buy when they're low.

    Just think. I paid £40 for a pair of the Aeron ones last summer.

    Probably to do with stock and what people have been buying.
    Loads of speed in stock but sell less = reduce price
    Fewer Aeron in stock but selling well = Increase price

    They have to sell at "full" price for a period (at least a month) in order to justify claiming a discount for most of the year.
    I managed to get some kit (Aeron Speed Equninox) with the Strava challenge 25% off while they were discounted. Just wait a week or two.

    There was a recent Strava "challenge" that gave off 25% off DHB Aeron products if you spent £150+.

    They also hike prices for certain times of the year. April/ may when people are buying new kit for the summer, then October/ November the prices of turbos go up and clothing goes down.

    Thanks for all the responses. I was just a bit shocked by a 25% increase in one week.
    Presumably, it is because of one of the reasons suggested so I'll monitor the prices over a period of time and then make a purchase when the price is a little more reasonable.
    Thanks to all.
