Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

[SpokesT]

My Planet X parcel arrived today, half an hour after they had emailed me advising it had been dispatched!
I got a merino On-One Tech jacket rrp £120 for £40, a San Marco Ponza seat rrp £70 for £15, a pair of Vermarc neoprene overshoes rrp £30 for a tenner, a couple of £4 tubes for half that, and three rear lights rrp £5 each for £3 altogether. What a bargain!

Bugger, I should have ordered two pairs.

LOL - excellent set up Jazloc. I've tried the Phaart front lights and TBH they were just given away with bikes I've sold. Don't rate them but the strap ons are excellent - 53p each ATM - http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/LIPHSOFL/phaart_strap_on_led_light

If anyone knows of any good offers on UNDERSHORTS please can you point me in the right direction? My DHB ones that I got for a tenner have lost most of their elasticity but haven't got any holes or lost their shape after 18 months and numerous washes. Although I think they may have shrunk a bit!!

They just seem ridiculously overpriced for what is essentially a pair of boxer shorts - with a pad! Guess I will stretch to £15 delivered if anyone knows of anywhere.

Info about sizing would be greatly received too. I've seen some on Cyclestore for under £20 but am not sure about the fitting and what with RMs inflation smashing price increases it makes things costly to return. Idiots.

Cheers

Not sure you question should be in this thread, but these might be good. Bought a pair recently - the pad is a proper one like you'd get in lycra shorts, not just a bit of material. Stuff around it very breathable so it's not like wearing lycra underneath. Not had extensive wear yet so no long-term test results.

Not a full "bargain" maybe but I agree with you that the price of these things is crazy - paid £20 for something from a major cycling brand which I don't think is as good.

All of my rear lights are Phaart clones and everything on the front (except my Cree light) are Phaart clones too.

Under a tenner for 9 lights.

that is similar to my set up for night rides although i have the seat post ones pointing more sideways - just to pervent the SMIDSY brigade having any excuses. not that they need them

I've a couple of pairs of these and they use Decathlon's basic blue pad. I've been comfy in them for 60-70 miles and would happily buy them again.

Locks for 99p at Planet X: http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/cyclesearch?q=sagisaka&x=8&y=10

I don't suppose they're the best quality in the world, but should work as a visible deterrent.

Me too. In fact I had assembled a 'basket' but not paid, on Tuesday... Was nice when it automagically reduced itself in price!

 

[Blue Hills]

Smart Lunar 25 lux front light £7.99 from Wiggle, list price £34.99

Many thanks for this (sorry folks - don't know how to quote it without reopeating the pic).

Mine just arrived at the £3.50 price sportingly highlighted downthread by Stungar.

Post free.

And came with a sample pack of High5 that is pretty much worth the £3.50 in itself!!

Shorts for £2.40 look brilliant, unavailable for delivery and the nearest store is 288 miles away

For those more fortunate, I can recommend the Halfords "collect in store" service. In many ways more convenient than having it posted to you.
