Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Thanks again. One of these, perhaps. https://www.asgardsss.co.uk/bike-storage-x4

Bit of a shame I downgraded to a small trailer.MOst of the panels would fit but the base and roof would either have to go in my wife's car, or on the roofbars!
Weight seems to be 114kg. I'd planned on taking tools to dismantle is single-handedly, but I reckon I'll enlist my 18 yr old.

Thanks @ianrauk - that link has a PDF download.

I have that one. Its not a 4 bike shed, or at least 4 bikes my size. I've just replaced the padlocks on it as I dropped one and it was acting up, didn't want to risk it getting stuck on in locked. I did pay for them to build it too, its definately not a 1 person job!

I built my asgaard shed by myself, so it is possible!

@kingrollo - any idea what these are like please? My winter SPD shoes broke this morning and PlanetX have the MTB version at the same price.

Sorry I don't have first hand experience of either road or MTB.

Favourable feedback on the road version in this thread. Plus I agree with the general point that PX clothing and footwear historically is good value for money.
I doubt you would do better for £80 imo.

I mean there are these for £66 - totally unknown bran though

Whilst you didn't get me to buy pedals, I've a heap of banana related socks in my basket now! 🍌

For anyone in the Sheffield area, Polaris are doing a big warehouse sale tomorrow with free breakfasts and coffees for all visitors.

It's a pity that I'm so far away as I really like their stuff and it wears well. I believe they are shifting all the old stock to make way for a rebranding under the new owners.

An unridden NeilPryde Bura in Solihull for £499 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276780159418

For a bike that was £1650 originally that seems to be a bargain imo given it's got a full Shimano 105 groupset. They're the lightweight bike from what was the NeilPryde stable (Nazaré - aero, Bayamo - TT, Bura - climbing).

Glad it’s not 52 I’d be frustrated. Great bike that will out climb lots of modern marketed tripe.

I've got the Thompson Capella so don't need a climbing bike. Otherwise it'd have been added to the stable so I have the full NeilPryde complement.

Given it's essentially a copy of the Cervelo R5, with minor changes, £500 including extras does seem a good price imo. Change the wheels and the crankset and it should be well below 7kg.

What a lovely looking bike. Gotta say I've never heard of them before.

In the picture taken from straight in front of the handle bars they look slightly off-centre, judging by the white marker lines on the bars.

Yes, looks like the handlebars aren't exactly centred on the stem. Plus the wheel could be slightly turned, making it look even more on the wonk.

Apart from that trivial detail, looks beautiful. Am surprised it hasn't gone yet.
I wonder if the seller has a proof of purchase?

I have just asked that very question

According to the seller she has the original receipt ... but they didn't pay £1640 for it - that's the current retail price.

I need to find out what the wife is planning to get me for Xmas - she's already warned me off buying a bike on here.
