Can't find any stock when I try to reserve and collect. Anyone had any success finding these?

+1 for the Cycleways sale. Popped in today and plenty of bargains in Specialized winter gear-most items half price or less.

Also, just inside the door, there's a basket of Specialized Turbo Elite 23cm road tyres for €20 each.

I had one in the basket but when I went to check out it was gone :mad: Convincing myself it would have been WAY too big rather than just a little too big

Fairly tight or I'm fatter than I thought I was. I'd advise trying them on before buying.

Fear not Daroxtar, they are tiny fitting, most people go up a size or two. Always best to try on where possible.

Missed this as I just bought a full winter bike recently, I think there is a cheaper vitus frame for about 4. Don't think you could go to far worng with either.

Any good deals going on high quality bib shorts a la Endura FS260?

Looking for Christmas gift ideas for PaterScone and he's loaded up with Aldi and club kit but I figure a good pair of bibs would stand out from the crowd.

No shortage of 1/2 price Specialized bibtights in Cycleways atm. Many are €195 down to €95 but there are cheaper. Plenty of sizes the other day too

The 2014 Evade in Black and Red is probably the least expensive I've seen actually with free postage South of the border

Seems like a good deal for a long sleeve jersey, baselayer and jacket. Comes in blue or red.

Have one and they're a fantastic helmet, super light and cool wearing but I only paid 30 euro for mine from Halfords in their sale last spring.
This seems expensive to me?

Not sure how to link to the exact post, it's the last one. Bought a couple of sets this morning. You have to choose the 2 x "size" Not the singles/set by two, if that makes sense. So it becomes 7.22 STG to 5.00 STG for two sets.

I have seen a few of the Aldi workstands in Galway recently (Westside) so there might be some still available in other shops. (Full price, not reduced, but still good value IMHO)

I've got a unused one from aldi that's just taking up space. Based in Dublin 7. Fiver off retail?

splanagan22

I'll jump in here and offer asking if OP isn't interested. How much is €5 off retail?

Can we get a bargain alerts sub-forum?

Requests and alerts could be put in there.

It might help people who subscribe to this thread to get less mail when people go off on tangents as seems to happen daily.
