Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

One of the advantages of getting divorced and living alone is not having to hide new bikes This one will live in the hallway when it arrives

On a slightly more serious note, I will never again go down the joint bank a/c and credit card route. When MrsS decided to up and leave 4 years ago I became responsible for 1/2 of a £28k credit card debt which I wasn't aware of Partly my fault as I didn't check anything and I contributed to the spend, but it's a much nicer feeling being in control of my own finances.

That is one heavy bike. Happy travels

Decathlon are again doing the Tacx Satori turbo trainer with mat, front wheel support and training DVD for £129.99. Their usual price is listed at £169.99, but even that is cheap as elsewhere the same trainer without the mat and DVD is £170-250. You could pay £65 for the mat and £20 for the wheel support alone.

The Satori gets good reviews on Chain Reaction, Wiggle, and Evans, but a relatively poor one on Bike Radar. I bought one yesterday, and it's perfect for my needs: rock solid, relatively quiet, easy to set up (after initial assembly), and has a great range of resistance with either the bar mounted lever or the bike's gears.

I managed to refrain but almost ordered about 3 new bikes from Wiggle

Colnago CLX3.0 105 was sooo tempting....

@SittingDuck you can always buy it for me

Nothing to stop you there

Phaart lights arrived today. Quite cheap construction and the RSP Astrum copy isn't as good as the Astrum. Got the 3w front as well for the kids bikes. These will be great for my sons commuter bike though so happy with the price.

Does that go at the front of the bike under the top tube at handle bar end?

 

[andsaw]

No it goes at the seat end, where the seat tube and top bar is, ah thats better a full pic.

 

[andsaw]

Heres one from the top looking down.

Nice one. Does it impede the use of a second bottle cage?

 

[MrJamie]

Just ordered one for my 2nd bike, will do for basic tools

0 left now ;-)

On mine it does, i use a massive bottle, but it all depends on what bike you have, you could move it along depending on what cage you have use a tie wrap or a thin piece of wire or whatever comes to mind to tie the bottom strap or just use the top straps and just let it dangle as it doesn't move much heres another pic just to show what it would look like.

 

[andsaw]
