      For those who think a power meter and cranks/rings for 999 euro is a bargain...Girona Cycle Centre are selling off a load of them.

      They are new cranks with a refurbed srm power meter. If that business is closing down? - who looks after the warranty?

      So far as I know they are not closing down, but locked down. They might, of course, go bust (like anyone else these days), but the sale is part of their survival plan, not a 'going out of business' sale. Caveat - I am just a customer and have no particular insight.

      They used to have a shop above snow and rock in Dundrum shopping centre. Bought my first road bike from them , found them to be very incompetent.

      Was handy for little bits on the way to the mountains. Didn't know they are gone, any idea what's there now?

      Tried to buy my first road bike from their place in Dundrum but on the day I was due to collect I turned up to find someone prepped it then another tool sold it to the next punter to walk in the door.
      A couple of years later I ordered the child's Christmas bike off them. Got a bit nervous in mid December so checked with them and they said they were now out of stock but they could get me one in early January.
      The final straw was the gloves they wouldn't allow me to return cos they refused to accept I wasn't a woman.

      And yes, I'm the big thicko who kept giving them another chance

      I left a bike in for a service. Took them a week , gave me the bike and he hasn’t being serviced.

      When I went to pick it up it hadn’t being setup and someone from climbing section who hasn’t being on a bike for years dealt with me. As there was no “bike staff “ working. I could go on

      This is the bargain alerts thread, any further non bargains will be deleted. Badly in need of some bargains right now! Feel free to start a new thread for discussion on a particular shop.

      Picked up a Bike Repair Stand today in Aldi for €24.99
      Great value and 3 year warranty.
      You can call Aldi to check which stores have it in stock.

      I have to say that the stand is a fairly decent addition for €25. Very good value.

      There's also a light black shower jacket which at €17 is tremendous value. It's a spring/ autumn type jacket. Good as an extra layer if you get the temp wrong but also good protection from showers and rolls up for easy storage in back pockets.

      bumping this as people are still reporting the issue.

      will quote it here:
      bargain alert codes - if there are bargain codes shared in this thread which are in theory not meant to be made public, the company in question should get in contact directly with the boards.ie office to action this; the mods here are not in a position to know or police which are, and which are not, public.

That company have not contacted us or anyone higher up as far as I know, if tey do, the boards office will deal with it as we flagged it to them. No more discussion on that f***** code and please stop reporting it.
