Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Hello, new to the forum. That price is fantastic but without being gouged, anyone know a very recent place to even find a new one of these to be shipped to Vienna?

Cheers,
Paisley

You may well get stung on import duties, worth checking.
Maybe try a German site like Bike24

5 litres of Muc Off for £18 at Amazon, plus postage if you don't have Prime. Free postage and postage if you spend £20, I think:

Or nothing at all if you use a bowl of soapy water.

Cheaper to buy the 1 litre concentrate that makes 4 litres: £3.30/litre versus £3.60/litre for the 5 litres.

Polaris sale is ending soon and amongst the stuff I saw this soft shell. I have this and wear it almost every time I ride MTB in any weather not considered warm and dry. It’s not waterproof but I rarely wear anything on top of it and it is a decent fit with a useful breast pocket as well as a zipped kidney pocket that fit my iPhone XS. Limited sizes left but it gets my recommendation.

Carradice have just put quite a bit of seconds kit on their eBay store. As you will see alot of the errors other companies would either miss or pass off as artisanal quirks.

I was looking for some new shorts. I looked in Go Outdoors and quite liked the thick padding in a pair of Dare 2B shorts. They were marked as £70 retail or £50 with the store card. I had a look on the Dare2B web site when I got home and they were £60 down to £29.95 plus £3.99 postage.
They arrived this morning and apart from L fitting my normal M, they look OK

Various Lake shoes on sale at Sigma Sports...

If you have wide feet I would recommend them - best fit I have found and good quality.
I have 2 pairs of the the wide fit CX176 for road (B & W variations) and have just ordered a pair of the same model but the MTB version.

I paid £108 on sale a few months ago for my road ones but they are now down to under 80 and are a legit bargain for that price, imho.

Edit: While I'm on a roll...
Ale summer bib shorts on CRC - I have a couple of pairs of Ale bibs and they are good quality. Sale price under 40 quid for one version which have a reasonable pad.

Is anyone paying £70 for Dare2B shorts ever ? Even £30 sounds pricey.

could they get a person who looks less like a cyclist as the model though ?
