Except for the "flash sale" title, where's the bargain in this?

Also available in store too
€20
Not for professional use but enough there to get you out of a hole

BrianHenryIE · 30-10-2015 04:14PM

Reelight have a Kickstarter on atm and for €3 you get 20% off their regular store, which should be worth it for just about any lights on their site.

* though it looks as though you won't get the 20% until December 8 (i.e. that's when the card is charged).

PaddyFagan · 31-10-2015 06:54PM

Was in mountain warehouse in blanch earlier. Picked up a jersey/baselayer for €25 - not sure how much of a bargain, but thought I'd post it anyway.

Think it was this one http://www.mountainwarehouse.com/strike-hi-viz-mens-fleece-bike-top-p13140.aspx?cl=YELLOW

I've a few if there base layers. Way too warm to cycle in, too warm to ski in at times

Does not look like much of a bargain to me. Decathlon would win anyday!

Kickstarters started off well at first but so many them strike me as taking advantage of people, in this case not so much but crazy how many for profit ideas get funded

Very good deal. I bought this frame in Feb, think I got it for 1100 and I thought that was good at the time.
Very happy with it.
It uses BMCs Dual Transmission something something so depending on whether you want to run mech or electronic you may need to order a little bag of bits from a BMC supplier.

Does it take Di2 out of the box?

Kinda.
I actually had some photos I can attach as I emailed westbrook cycles at the time, I though I was missing some parts.
I setup Di2 and needed to get the Di2 kit, I think it was just a number of rubber stoppers to plug the holes where the cable guides would go if you were running mech. You could use tape if you wanted. I think I may have taped over the holes under the BB where the cable guide would go.
I can't remember if the rubber bits for the di2 wiring came with the bmc kit or was included with the di2 bundle, i suspect it was part of the bmc kit.
You can see them if you look at a di2 verison of the bike online and zoom in.
The chain catcher doesn't come with it either.
I think the bits may have cost 30-40e from the irish distributor.

This is not the same frame that Westbrook had on sale if it was it would be an exceptional bargain . This one is the cheaper aluminium frame with carbon forks (still a decent weight though at 1600g all in).
I believe that it is set up as mechanical with external gear cables.

Well would you look at that! It turns out I'm a dumbass, I saw a red/black GF and assumed GF01.
TIL that posting before coffee is not a good idea.

/gets coat

On the flip side, I do feel a whole lot better about the price I paid for mine now
