Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

[BluesDave]

I was so impressed I bought two of them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330650905507?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Mrs Decorators bicycle has been wrapped up in a very large sheet of Tarpaulin for the winter. I bought this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_762373_langId_-1_categoryId_165534 brand new for her this spring as an early birthday present and she rode it up to the garden center up the road and back and thats it. Total waste of money, I'll never buy her a car. Lovely bike like that and she's leaving it to rot. I rode it back from the shop when I went to collect it and it handles like a dream. I can't sell it though because it was a present to her.

I've also just bought a pair of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-Pure-...52?pt=UK_Cycling_Clothing&hash=item1e54d35ea8 to go inside these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-Pure-...52?pt=UK_Cycling_Clothing&hash=item1e54d35ea8 which I purchased earlier in the year. I noticed that my have got wet in them so I am following a recommendation.

Wiggle sent me an e-mail today. I thought these pedals were going to be a real bargain when I saw the £13 Save. But was £26.99 Now £26.99 what a saving .

Bargain? Oooh yes. Yesterday was, on the whole a bargaintastic day. On Friday evening, on the way from work to the pub, I noticed my back tyre need a little squirt of air, 30 seconds later I realised that it was p*******d. Oh well, in two years of daily cycling, it was my first, and I was not far from home (pub). Left the bike at pub intending to pick it up in the morning in the car. Next morning I went to get it. Now I KNOW that the bike fits in the back seat of the car, drop the front wheel out, no problem, job done. But I have since fitted mudguards and now no way no how does it now go in. So off to the local LBS. A month or two ago I had been chatting to the owner (an old pal of mine) about Joe Blow II track pumps, and he had offered me a discount, "I can do one for you for £28.00". I didn't have the money at the time. Yesterday I cheekily asked "£30.00 for the pump and an innertube?" A reluctant yes.... RESULT! (It is a top-notch LBS and don't stock any generic cheapo rubbish, so the tube was Schwalbe).

So off to a good start to the day I tootle off in to town. I had heard that Millets/Blacks were having some trouble financially and were selling stuff off cheap so I had a look in Millets. I bought:

A buff RRP £12.99 reduced to £5.00;
A 'Peter Storm' branded Angora/wool mix scarf RRP £14.99 reduced to £5.00
A 'Peter Storm' neck gaiter, RRP £12.99 reduced to £5.00.
These prices were nice enough but they were doing extra 25% off AND buy two and third item is 1/2 price so for £41.00 worth of gear I paid £7.50..... Another RESULT!

So, back to the pub and fit the new tube, and home, where... the postman had been, leaving packets containing:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150681029021&ssPageName=STRK:MEAFB:blush:T

100% 190 gsm Merino wool half-zip jersey for £12.99???? Shurely shome mishtake??? It is fine. A slighly odd cut, being a tiny bit 'baggy' under the arms but still, great stuff.

And these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180655644360?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:blush:T&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649

I don't have a lot of experience with cycle shorts/bibs/tights etc but these seem to be every bit as good as the ones priced at £30.00/£40.00 or more in a bike shop. The seller is very good at answering queries.

Both items were ordered early Friday morning so to get them on Saturday was a real nice surprise.

On a slightly less bargaintastic note, I got these on Friday:
http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/CLPXWGLV/planet_x_winter_cycling_gloves

Faultless service, despatched immediate, recieved next day but frankly they are not very good. Stitching right where you don’t want it, (gets under fingernails), and on a very cold evening ride (last night) not very warm. Still for £5.00 can't expect miracles, and perhaps with some silk or similar undergloves they will be OK.

Yesterday I was suddenly overcome with The Fear about locking up my bike outside my new place of work so decided to treat us both (that is, my bike and I) to a new lock. In keeping with the hipster image my bike is trying, against my best efforts, to foster I decided to go for a mini D lock and found this at almost half price.

Just ordered me one of these for Christmas...mother was asking what I wanted...she can wrap it and I'll act surprised

Is that a unisex helmet? Looks a real bargain!

Like them! Are they big enough to get 2 under one cover if alongside each other?

Men's version - they do a women's version in white and mauve if you prefer

Re. the Fitjo shorts - I've a pair as back-up and they're OK.

Been into Millets today as well - it's 25% extra off the 50% off sale and bought a new Small jacket, to replace the L one I've got. Plus a couple of pressies for the kids. It looks like Blacks/Millets are also short of a buyer for the company, so the discounts will increase.
