Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

[RoubaixCube]

Just grabbed me one of these... Every other retailer seems to be selling them for MRSP (£45)

mid-range version is available for £35 which is brighter and has longer run times - I opted for the lite version as i only need a light for flash duties that can be hung on a go pro mount. Go pro mount was a must for me as i have big paws and not a lot of real estate on the bars. (This light comes with the RB-42 go pro mount so there is no need to spend more money buying one)

I could have opted to rebuild my Lezyne 400XL with a new battery but that would have been £9 and i dont have go pro mounts for it which would also have cost me another £5-13 depending on if its 3D printed or OEM.

A review for the mid-range version can be found here

Or the 'boss' wouldn't kill me. PS I'm also out of space in the garage for another bike. The alloy London Roads are going cheap too.

Depends on your definition of cheap - the alloy London Road bikes used to go for £499 in 2019.

I can verify the London Road Ti is plush to ride... a real bargain for someone at under a grand

Bit on the heavy side considering a Carrera vanquish comes in at 10.5kg too.
An extra £600 for 400g? Seems pretty steep.

My Ti not light but what a plush ride !!

Say after me: "It's a plush ride; it's a plush ride; it's a plush ride"; and behold it IS a plush ride, 'specially with good tyres.
Full disclosure: I have a Ti frame asking me to build them up.

So I bought a second one to make sure the plushness wasn’t a fluke 😜
