Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

You will never guess who has a sale! Planet X :-)

However, they have this lovely Selle Italia Leather Saddle for £25 which if it's the same quality as the other models they have sold, is a bargain.

They are very similar to the Spa saddles in quality and construction, I suspect they may even be made in the same place as they come with the same bag and accessories.

Ortlieb Back Roller City panniers for £65 for the red/black option being sold by Amazon - they generally seem to be around the £80+ mark elsewhere. I've taken a punt in advance of my new commuter bike (eventually) arriving as they seem to get very good reviews.

Amazon product ASIN B001OMMH4KView: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001OMMH4K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&th=1&psc=1

I've got front rollers - bit smaller, but they are bomb proof - Had mine about 12 years, bit tatty but they do the job and are waterproof. Good price that.

The £2.99p Decathlon tyre levers are very strong with a spoke hook, I have been using a pair for the last 5-6 years, they work well even on Marathon+.

Many thanks, the saddle looks good, I have a Spa, which I like, so it might be ok. I also got some tyres, and lights, and saddle bag, and .........

Never said they were good, they’re a fiver!

And they can’t spell tyre on that website…so what else have they got wrong?

If not used, send them back under 365 day returns and rebuy (although you’ll need more stuff for free postage). If you can be bothered for the sake of £3

Are their returns free if you simply do not want, many are not and only free if it's faulty

Nah, want to get my flat bar conversion finished. Just satisfied that I paid £8 for the pair having paid over £40 for a different project last month. May be worth getting another pair for the spares box tho' in case I decide to change the remaining dropped bar bike to flats.
