B'Twin 300 tyre hand pump, with valve-friendly flexible connector hose, Shrader & Presta compatible. Cheap as chips £3.99 at Decathlon. Ideal as a first aid puncture repair/top-up pump to keep on your bike permanently. I got one recently to try out and thought it very good for the money, then £5.99. Since then they've gone down by £2! I'm now going to get some more and fit one to every bike in working order that I own to save faffing around having to remember to swap pumps from bike to bike. No risk that way of forgetting to take a pump out with me, no matter which bike I'm riding.

3 styles of Sella Italia leather saddles in black or brown at £15 each on the bay. I've ordered a couple at the weekend, so still awaiting them, but there seems to be plenty of +ve feedback https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Saddles/...Material=Leather&rt=nc&_trksid=p2046732.m1684

Direct link https://www.decathlon.co.uk/300-hand-pump-black-id_8386677.html - note 72psi max. It's probably quite similar to the cheap plastic Wiggle Lifeline I had a few years ago. Small and light but for 50+mm tyres only IMO - even a roadster on 37mm tyres is hard work to get the back tyre inflated enough (edit: I aim for 60-65psi there. The awful Armadillos I once used had a marked minimum pressure of 80psi which that pump wouldn't do).

I don't see the pressure limit as too much of a problem, TBH. I maintain my tyre pressures using a track pump at home. I only want a bike pump to facilitate puncture repairs or to top up a slow puncture with more air en route to enable me to ride it home. In those circumstances I am not going to worry about achieving optimum tyre pressures that may be at the limit of the pump's output.. So long as the pump will put enough in to make the tyre rideable without pinch flatting, that's good enough for me. Most of my tyres are at least 35mm or 1 3/8" wide, all of which run below 70 psi in the rear tyre. I've got one set of 28mm Marathons on my drop bar Dawes, which need 85-90psi in the rear, but even they'll tolerate quite a bit less.

Now reduced even further to £22.
I’ve just ordered another one. Beam pattern is very good fo4 road use. Just be aware you need to purchase Aa rechargeable batteries, or you can use standard AAs.

still tempted as I fear quality AA battery lights will soon not be available but if I'm not mistaken that is the one that has less coverage inmediately in front of the wheel.

"Order is being prepared", apparently, though I have an email saying it's shipped and should be ready for collection on Tuesday - but I chose delivery to a local shop.

I ordered mine at the weekend & they were delivered yesterday. They are rather hard & reckon it'll take a while to brake them in, but for £15 they are certainly good value
Mine were delivered by UPS. Came in a presentation box with a velvet bag, a tin of proofide and a custom made wallet for the saddle adjustment tool provided.

Just one Mitica in Honey left: I got the second-to-last
Wonder how many of them will re-appear on the bay for a higher price now that they have pretty much sold out?
