Non-Ebay Deals/Bargains

I see Brother are selling their beautiful Swift framesets at hugely reduced prices. I would so be up for this if I was looking.

Price for non-EU customers (including North America) – £229.17

Can Brexit has this?

If you fancy your chances in waiting for 2 (or more) years...

You'll be paying UK tax instead ;)

£1 zipp hubs?

edit: Misunderstood the link, I think.

it's for the spares, not the hubs

Got confused because it gave a 99% off sign

Someone confused by promotions and listings on PX? Never in my life...

It is just small spares for Zipp hubs - a decent deal if you need them!

Not complete hubs

Super cheap keo max blades on chain reaction:

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/look-keo-2-max-blade-road-pedals/rp-prod129042

I saw them too this AM but was wondering if 8NM of tension was sufficient.

Does anyone ride them? I recall @Sumo having issues with blades a couple of years back.
Are they @mdcc_tester approved??

I can live with the white colour

The ones I had issue with where the older version with smaller spring. I snapped the spring on it by stepping on the back of the pedal. I think @6pt did the same. 8nm isn't that much but easily enough to keep your feet on the pedals.

Are they #tester_approved?

I had some Keo Flex for a while, and the sloppy 8Nm wasn't the problem, even up to 170rpm on the rollers. Although I tend to use 12-16Nm versions, I can't see 8Nm causing me a problem.

I bought two pairs so I have a spare one when they break.

To be fair, they are sub £30 then there is a discount code for £10 off £75 (WHSE2017) so I also bought bits I didn't know I needed...

I broke the Keo Flex, and some people broke the first generation Blades, but I don't think the Blade 2 is particularly prone to breakage and the spring can be bought as spare part, albeit for more than you just paid for complete pedals.

Glumtree spot, nice chap (have exchanged mails with him but not purchased 'owt'. As I believe you say) in Sheffield selling this.

With respect; £5 from any good Council Tip near you!

Really? Oh. My bad, apologies.

Just FYI, the dropouts are your first clue it's very modest: stamped, not cast.

The seat stay bridge is your second: not even a basic tube, but a big ol' plate (perhaps for a rack).

Third is the cable guides: pieces of sheet metal, bent to shape.

Appreciate the spotters tips @Scilly.Suffolk, will exercise these next time I come across something that looks like a 'bargain' (wise to those Eddy Merckx cheapo's thanks to LFGSS's).

In what world is £700 a bargain? eBay is that way>>>>>
