  • need to stock up on some consumables...high 5 zero

    Most nobbish thing Wiggle did was discontinue the Mojito, they deserve to go bust

  • SIS tabs are £5.50 in Sainsbury’s at the moment.

    I know, burn the witch etc.

  • Plumped for some bits and pieces, including a floor pump for £12. Time will tell!

    All arrived, no Haribo.

  • Does anyone know whether the Wiggle administration (triggered by the removal of the credit line from Signa Sports United) is linked to the slow unravelling of the broader Signa group run by suspected fraudster Rene Benko? They're definitely the same overall group but I can't see any commentary online about whether Wiggle have been caught up in the storm engulfing the (mainly property led) group rather than necessarily to do with the downturn of the cycling industry

  • The signa sports thing didn't get 150 million financing that was promised from the parent group, so I'd say it's connected?
    From what I read but can't find the article anymore, they (the signa sports stuff) burnt a lot of money trying to build some tennis experience thing community app called tennis pro.
    Plus the bad numbers in cycling.

    Signa sold their biggest building project that's under construction (mynd, a high rise on Alex) in Berlin in June, and today it was announced that the new owners canceled the contract with signa to build the thing.
    All ongoing building works in Berlin are also stopped, be it under construction or projected.
    I am quite happy our council fought the nearest project Karstadt am Hermannplatz, and took a big plot nearby that benko had already bought back quite a while ago.

  • Ordered a vest (Columbia)2 days ago.
    Arrived later today with Haribo.

  • I can’t be the only spectator waiting the first to be burnt…?

  • I know this would most likely be shit, but it’s only £170 inc p&p and it wouldn’t get stolen from the bike stand

  • Just been burnt here. I just received a top end 3t Ltd ergonova bar and a load of High 5 a day early for less than £80 but no Haribo so only 99.9% happy

  • Splashed £50 as some of the dhb running jackets were down from £150 to £15 (see Running thread).

    If anyone is going to get burned it'll be me, I'm the harbinger of the fucked company.

  • did the same, bought couple of items from dhb running so I can get a real excuse to go back running :P

  • Parcel on its way! Now at the mercy of Evri.

    Will update no haribo and other contents.

  • Couple of heftily discounted pairs of Altra shoes for Mrs c00ps' tiny feet on the way...

    (similarly at the mercy of Evri)

  • Bought from chain reaction and Evri delivered to the wrong address (complete with photo of wrong house and man in pants)

  • Just had mine uncharactistically fast if anything via evri.. no haribo, no surprise.

  • Any DHB Gravel specific utility vests yet?

  • Did you have to pay extra for that?

  • I think it's a membership perk!

  • Winkle plus?

  • Chain Erection, surely

  • You win, I didn't spot the Chain reaction bit.

  • I did it too £15 running jackets for Liz and I, and a bundle of £5 jerseys as well as a few £10 wool ones. Oh and Liz put in a pair of trail running shoes, I’m sure she’ll need those it Norfolk.
    I didn’t buy the £179 hybrid though.
