Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

The prices are a bit weird

The L was originally £39.99 - reduced to £11.39
but the XL was originally £53.92 - reduced to £37.94

that seems a bit dodgy to me???

They probably have loads of L ones to get shot of, supply & demand. Pricing differences between sizes isn’t unusual

With winter coming, Sportpursuit have a Lake winter SPD boot, 30% off in limited sizes. As ever they have lots of cycling deals (need to sign up to browse if not used previously)

@vickster - they're decent boots, although I think I paid about £40 in a Spring sale a couple of years ago for mine. Brexit & item availability = price.

My PX Das boots were £50 just as good but Velcro instead of twisters.

If currently available at that price, good stuff
(although nowhere to be seen on their website, so not exactly a bargain if not for sale anymore).

We've all got bargains in the past which are no longer available (or a bargain now )

I had a stock alert for the PX DAS boots for my OH. Last week PlanetX contacted to say they were not expecting any more into stock

I’ll pass , Even at £13.99 , bought a pair before, the pad was nowhere near where it needed to be making me look like Rudolf Nureyev

wouldn't that have been a result? You'd have been fighting them off - and all for £13.99 - surely a bargain?

@Blue Hills to be fair I would wear them for up to an hours worth of commuting but wouldn’t fancy wearing them for a long ride.

Bib tights are something I treat as disposable items cos they get filthy from salty roads and road splatter and I usually end up putting a hole in them at some point when I fall off

you shouldn't be falling off that much - I was peeved to fall in a pretty brand new gore pair once - but they can be stitched - I'd try that on some of your fall-sets.
I like the planet X things with no pad (you just wear quality padded lycra shorts underneath - so the bibs can be worn a few times) - often pretty cheap - legs too long for me in both medium and large sizes but I can live with.
