They are refunding me over the next few days and will let me know if it is in stick again.


    Hard luck

    It is in stock....they just dont like the price they sold to you at

    Do feedback as such...they are a new amazon retailer

    You could threaten them to do as such and they might honour their mistake

    Just looked at their profile again, there is 10+ reviews with the same story as mine, either they sold more than they had or never had them to begin with.

    EDIT: looks like they nothing for sale on their shop front now, they may have jumped ship

    Flash sale on in Halfords. 10% off everything until 2 o'clock.

    Great deals on the new four arm tiagra chain/crankset at the moment. I got one before christmas from rosebikes for 65 quid with 8 euro delivery. They seem to be out of 172.5 at the moment, but chainreaction and wiggle both have them for about 78 euro with free delivery. I ordered one yesterday from chainreaction and it seems they're going to deliver it today.

    Needed a 170 crank for my TT bike and I'm putting a 52:36 on my cyclo-cross bike so I can better use it as a road bike for the year. The current 36:46 is a bit ...spinny.... :)

    I think that's a good deal!

    Even cheaper if you add the discount code for the 25% off PXLIQUID25


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,021 ✭✭✭rflynnr


    I recognise this might require some recalibration of the word "bargain" given that it's still over €200 but Rapha are doing a significant discount on the Hard Shell jacket at present (from €310 to €210). I've had one for a couple of years and use it more or less daily and it is, hands down, the best jacket I've owned. Absolutely wind and rain proof.

    And, in that respect, it's worth mentioning that Rapha stuff tends to be on the fitted side. I'm somewhere between a small and medium usually (more medium at the moment if truth be told) but if Rapha's medium were any smaller I wouldn't fit in it.
