    While they don't seem to suit everyone's shape (me included) €64 is a good price for this saddle

    If you're a bit short or a bit tall, this is a great bike for the Money. Reynolds 725. Shutter Precision Dynamo and B&M Light/ Tiagra 10 speed and Triple at the front to get up the steepest of walls.

    Phenomenal bike for the money, XL is really a 58cm so you don't have to be super big

    If it was in Medium I'd be buying one and hiding it from the OH

    They also have the Equilibrium Disc for the same price, but you don't get all the other stuff to make it a superb touring machine with little extra outlay

    Out of interest, what size would suit someone 5'8'' in height, wears 30/32 inch inside leg, average length arms?

    I am 5' 7" with 30 leg (jeans etc) and have this bike in small. You are welcome to try it for size. Cranks are 172.5 so sizes a bit larger than it would with 170mm cranks. I paid more than £599 from same shop, but still got a better deal than buying here. Delivery was a bit slow but very well packaged. Awesome price at £599.

    Inspired by the thread on CO2 canisters, I was reminded I wanted to get a small repair kit with CO2 for my wife. Came across this one for £9.99 - they don't ship here, so you'll need parcelmotel, addresspal or whatever..

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/TITE-WEDGE-BAG-REPAIR-KIT/dp/B00778IQJK/ref=lp_1648933031_1_13?srs=1648933031&ie=UTF8&qid=1483733743&sr=8-13

    Paddy

    Ps I'm hoping the bag is big enough to throw a spare tube in as well.

    £12 postage for a £3 pair of arm warmers! They can fcuk right off.

    And no I won't even bother quoting parcel motel. Places like this won't be getting my business.

    Noticed the p&p was high alright outside the UK. Got a great deal on a RBS grid jacket, Tornado Bib tights and RBS gloves. The order was around €70 and it seemed to be free P&P to the UK if the order went over a certain amount. Ended up using Parcel motel so worked out really well including the parcel motel cost.

    Endura FS260 range has a gilet and race cape that seem pretty similar to the hot pack in transparency too, and that review well: http://road.cc/content/review/137332-endura-adrenaline-race-gilet contains pictures of the former to gauge how clearly numbers might be seen

    Can be gotten for a little cheaper than the sportful also from my looking

    What kind of car? I have a Saris Bones 2 for sale (used once) as I have recently changed car and it doesn't fit the new car.

    MOD VOICE: Please read the OP before posting. A bit of chat about a bargain, whether it is one or if there is better out there is fine, but it is not a bargain request thread.

    May not be to everyones tastes but ekoi are selling thermal skinsuits for €100.
    I ordered one during black friday sales and it is every bit as good as the Castelli Thermosuit which is nearly 3 times the price. This combined with a gilet and light base layer is all that was needed for the coldest of the weather last week. The advantage of this over the castelli thermosuit is that the waist is higher with a greater overlap between the jacket section and bib section.

    http://www.ekoi.fr/en/thermal-suits/5699-ekoi-aerocomp-2-dry-full-black-winter-skinsuit.html
    Using the code 'EXTRA10' knocks 10% off the sale price and for any purchases over €100 EKOI offer payments by optional installments (2/3/4 months at 0% interest)

    There are lots of offers on helmets and glasses on the site as well.

    Sizing is european, for reference i am 5ft 8 inches and 85kg and i am between Medium and Large. I have a medium in Short Sleeve version and felt it was a bit tight so went for Large in the Winter suit as i would probably be wearing a baselayer etc. Fit is almost perfect but a small bit of bunching on the knees as the large expects a taller rider
    fat bloke wrote: »

    No it is just as easy to get on and off as a pair of bib tights and 'nature breaks' can be accommodated without too much hassle.
