Non-Ebay Deals/Bargains

Sigmas brand, yeah.

There was a lad selling a Giant TCR Green faded into black in the classifieds here....sure that had VEL on it. Thems all the clues I have.

Giant TCR Green faded into black

Ha! I remember that bike

I'm just a sucker for a bargain, I have 45mm rims on my road bike so its not like I need 50mm. But it would be nice to keep as a spare for a couple of years, never use them then sell them on at a loss...

They're 200g heavier than my annoyingly hookless Giant SLR1 wheelset, which I'd like to replace for my tyre choice but only with an upgrade. (I can't afford shit right now anyway)

Provisional dibs for when you sell them at a loss. 😉

I haven't got any, but live a few miles from Sigma so have seen them in the flesh in the shop quite a few times. They're nice looking wheels but a little portly.

OEX Tarp - no idea of quality but good deal potentially?

ha soz you've been beat by someone via pm, will bell you in 2025 if it falls through

yeah 1600ish grams though isn't terrible for 50mm depth at that price though!
200 grams over my fancy road wheels that had an rrp that was very close to ten times the sale price of the Vels. People buying Zipp/Enve etc wheelsets are the biggest mugs on the planet... never again.

Yeah they're great value for £339

Hardly a bargain at £199. Looks like a generic hi-10 steel frame from any Chinese seller on eBay. £799 RRP is a joke

Add 'sale15' for an extra discount

Carbon bottle cages for £13.50 each, worth a punt.

If that’s you’re thing, I think I saw some Elite ones in the mix for even less?

Went in for a chat with the techy in the shop. He was pretty positive without being overly biased (hopefully).

Basically said they're selling them at a decent loss due to massive stock levels. They over ordered with the huge COVID bike boom and sales levels have dropped since.

Also said anything they order now will go up in price substantially when the stock comes through so seemed like a good time for me to buy...

Few quid off on topcashback too hopefully

Seems like an awful lot of bike (and versatile frameset) for under £500 new:

10spd flat bar drive train stuff for under £70 all in... I've heard people say it works best with an 11 speed chain...

Apologies for the multiple links!

1199 for an NS Rag 1 seems more than fair?

75% off @ Superstar now.🤷

Thanks for that - ordered. £37.50 posted for a road wheelset is nuts.
