I’ve got a wahoo club membership and can buy those much cheaper than that.

Good for you, but you can make a more useful contribution to the bargains thread by providing the actual "much cheaper" prices, details of how to access them, and of any hidden costs such as membership fees.

Lidl have some interesting bike stuff in. Just bought a couple of panniers £10 each. Seem well made. Have an integral rain cover, proper clips and a removable padded laptop compartment.

@Hacienda71 was there many pannier bags left? Could you post a picture please as I can’t find them on the website?

The Boardman SLR 8.9 looks a decent price. Full 105 hydraulic groupset and through axles.

The vanquish is also a good buy if you don’t mind crap tolerances on the carbon fork.

There were a reasonable amount left at my local Lidl. There were 17 litre like those pictured, plus 20 litre which were a different more woven type material.

Managed to pick one up on orange sticker for £6.99 as no packaging. Might look for another

I picked up one of the woven fabric versions to try and it'll do for lightweight shopping trips.
The removable laptop sleeve will hold an OnGuard Pitbull D lock and still leave plenty of room for the shopping. There's a shoulder carry strap provided or a hand strap with fixings similar to Ortlieb
Two minor problems - the way mine is mounted meant that the zip pull for the rain cover pocket tapped the spokes (zip pull now removed as has been the rain cover which isn't needed) and the flap fastening - see pic below - is liable to become undone on the move when empty.
Other than that, it's only a tenner so worth a try if you've got the cash to spare

Cheers for the input. Currently I run with a full laptop bag inside a Halfords Advanced Pannier bag. It holds my laptop, headset, clothes for the day but is too small to also carry my lunch and shoes. I’m lucky that at work I have a locker that opens with NFT so I can leave my laptop and anything I need in there if I do consecutive days in the office.

Would be good if I could ditch the laptop bag provided it’s a padded sleeve.

The laptop padding is very thin. You’d probably want to put it in a better sleeve imo

Selcof expedition handlebar £25

I have these handlebar on my Whyte hybrid - which is my main tourer. It's wide at 760mm but I'm happy that I didn't trim it until I tried it. Loads of good hand positions and plenty of space for GPS, lights, bags, shopping etc
