I've just bought a Garmin Edge Touring from Wiggle for £113. Their marked price is £155, and the rrp is £199. All I did was ask them to price match the unit being sold by Rose Bikes at £117 and then accessed the Wiggle site at the point of purchase by linking to it from Quidco for £3.53 cash back.
I suppose if you can't be bothered with the messing, which took a few hours to set up, you could just buy it online directly from Rose Bikes for £117 although you'll have to pay £7 pnp whereas Wiggle offers it for nowt.
For the record I'll be running it solely for mapping alongside my Edge 500, together they more or less replicate the features of the 800 with added mapping features. As i already own the 500 it's a no brainier.

I've just given mine it's first real test cycling from London to Paris, and found battery life to be a real issue. We weren't able to complete a single day's ride using mine alone; it always conked out somewhere along the way. I would highly recommend getting one of those emergency phone charger gizmos or taking two Garmin's, which is what we resorted to. Other than that I couldn't fault it.

I rode to Paris using my 500 last year and it only used 50% battery, so running them side by side I'll be more than covered

Planet X:

30m of brake outer (white) for £1.99 http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/BSSEBCH/selcof-brake-cable-housing

Selcof drop bar for £7.99 http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/HBSELKP07/selcof-kp07-aluminiuim-handlebar

Lots of odds and sods in their sale, worth a trawl through if you want to stock up on home workshop bits.

The michelin 700c butyl inners are really really cheap (£1.49). Annoyingly they are only 18-23mm and I could do with 25mm ones

I used mine last year for 6 days and although I charged it every night the battery was still about half full after each days ride. I found if you're playing with it all day then the battery runs down very quickly but if left alone it is more than sufficient.
