Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

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

My px spitfire looks similar at 7.4kg with pedals but that’s more of a race Ti bike. The London is aimed at commuting & leisure riding so it shouldn’t matter that it’s around XC MTB weight.

Interesting story, I used to live near the shop & went to school with their Children. I remember been in since the late 80’s & my dad bought me a little 7 speed MTB that’s was yellow & purple for one Christmas.

go outdoors price match

Interesting that John Lewis have just announced the end of their 'Never knowingly undersold' tag as they can't compete with online retailers anymore.
Wonder how long B4 more high street retailers follow suit - ?

It was always a lie anyway - they used to have slightly different model numbers to charge a premium!!

As do their competitors like Currys, while other like Richer Sounds have conditions around warranty

I have to dispute your statement, T4tomo.
Several years ago, might have been around 2011/2012 I bought a Samsung TV from John Lewis. Shortly after that I discovered the same model was available at a large national retailer. I submitted a claim to JL and very promptly received a refund of approx £40. The very same thing happened after I had a fridge/freezer from JL and once again my claim was honoured and I received a refund of the difference in price.
Having their “Never knowingly undersold” policy in place plus the fact their guarantees were often longer than other retailers was the reason that my major household purchases were obtained from John Lewis.
I fear that John Lewis’ golden days of best price and best customer service are fast disappearing.

Ride London Endura Jersey - RRP £45 now £9

I bought these when they were £14. Very nice jerseys, great quality and fit.
They also have the female jerseys for £9, matching hats and socks (XL only) for £3.

They've also got some odd stuff they must've inherited from Radial and others, including an £8 'lumberjack' long-sleeved jersey. Oddly enough, available in all sizes. I wonder why : https://www.evanscycles.com/brand/sugoi/lumberjack-cycling-jersey-mens-639511#colcode=63951113

Those jerseys all look good as "on the turbo" jerseys. Not sure I'd want to wear a PRL jersey out in the real world not having ridden it...

I guess I did do the Full PRL on Zwift ??

I reckon you could pass this one off just with some stormwear cycling jeans.
