Non-Ebay Deals/Bargains

Just one tracker, but £55 in 2022 to £80 now is mental.

The Rocket-Feather theory.

Those Miche cranks I posted turned up today and they’re actually proper nice - axle had a crap plastic cap on the end so once you knock that out they look kinda smart for the money

I’ve had a set of these for about a year and they’ve been great - the rings mark quite easily but the cranks look slick and are a good match for silver Campy if you want a 52/36 or cba with ultratorque bearings

Is that the GB (Gerry Burgess) logo on them? Pashley must have taken over the brand name.

That’s the one - longish story but fresh out of uni I was hired by Pashley to do various things, including scoping out whether GB could be spun out as a viable aftermarket parts brand again. We had tube bending machines and everything but the quality was consistently sub-Nitto so the idea was ultimately nixed.

They still use the branding on OEM parts for their more expensive bikes but it’s just that - a logo and nothing much more.

Decent Price (£89.99) for a Gore Torrent Jacket

Favero Assioma single-sided power meter pedals £250:

https://cycling.favero.com/en/shop/assioma-uno

Plus import duties and VAT though (if getting delivered to the UK)

Many thanks for clarifying - this had been pointed out in the Power Meter thread before but I was too lazy to confirm! Typically £370ish from UK stores

The key thing with European purchases these days is finding a small retailer who doesn't properly understand the new rules. If you're lucky you can get shops that will exclude the VAT but let you place an order under the £135 threshold meaning it sails through UK customs. The bigger shops R2 bike etc have minimum order amounts (over £135) meaning you'll get picked up by UK Customs.

Seems like a good deal - link

Great deal on an Exposure Diablo light:

https://www.99bikes.co.uk/accessories/lights/2024-exposure-diablo-mk14-helmet-mount-front-light-in-gun-metal-black__51214

Good deal. That's not far off what Wiggle cut them to when they had the fire sale.

Had a quick nose, import duty appears to be 4% and VAT due at 20%, so looking at £312 to your door. Good price

Water resistant, stretch trousers that look and feel nice, good for office or pub, just had a pair of these delivered and liked them enough to buy a second

£24 for navy down from £80, then another 10% off with 10BF code

All normal sizes still available

Cheers. Been needing something like this for a while to stop wearing ultra cheap old fleece lined trousers "out".

Also bought a columbia puffect jacket from trisports Ebay outlet for £35 to replace my father in laws old 80s ski jacket, which is now admittedly tired.

Nice one. Needed some walking strides but was reluctant to pay Fjallraven prices. Cheers.

Not exactly a bargain, but Panaracer tyre sets can be had for a very decent price on their own website. BF discounts combined with EMAILPAIRS20 code mean the new edition Slick+ TLRs can be had for 36 quid.

Panaracer tyre

I'd class them expensive even if they are free.

£108 inc delivery 👍 Now when do I get paid? Oh that’s right after the offer has stopped.

100% off Starling frames!!!!
That’s 100%!!

It’s a genius offer.

So there's no way of knowing that you're the 11th customer, and thereby don't benefit from the 'offer', until you've paid and completed the transaction? And as Starling's CRN isn't mentioned in the T&Cs, I wonder if a change of name at Companies House would to, say, Pigeon Cycles, would prove a potential workaround if they're really struggling in 7 years (not to mention T&C No. 8 of course)... Great bit of marketing though.
