    just got sorted also. Phone call to Evans did the trick. In fact they gave me 2discount codes. Order mine via fatcheese.ie and one of the lads in work used the other.

    Thanks OP.

    I think that this thread may have ruined my chances of selling off my current computer now plus another one I've had for a while which hasn't even been taken out of it's box yet.

    I couldn't go through fatcheese in the end. The girl I was talking to made a big hullaballoo about the people that do the price checks work in a different department, and it would be at least tomorrow till I got the code etc etc, so i just ordered over the phone.

    Can't wait to get it now! Need to get the HR and cadence meters next :)

    Delighted for Lemag that you got sorted with a black one...

    Those of you anywhere a Hollingsworth (Templeogue and Kilmacud) should note they have the Vacansoleil 2011 shirt for half price at €35..

    Probably reduced as the anti FranceTV Tour car defence shield was faulty..Ask Johnny Hoogerland..Pretty robust gear all the same!!

    Unfortunately we have been unable to match the price of £99.97 on the Garmin Edge 500 GPS Enabled Computer at http://www.bestbuy.co.uk/product/1000114326/Garmin-Edge-500.aspx?ref=google&loc=BicycleParts%26Accessories&ci_src=18615224&ci_sku=1000114326.

    The reason(s) for this are:

    We can only match prices of authorised UK retailers. bestbuy.co.uk is not an authorised retailer of Garmin products.

    If you would like us to price match a different colour or size (if applicable), or a different product please feel free to submit another Price Promise request. If you have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact us or call us on +44 (0)1293 574900.

    Kinds Regards,

    Evans Cycles

    I just received this email from them!

    If you read back through the thread you'll see that Evans Cycles have used this BS excuse already. This link is from the Garmin Great Britain site and links to 'Best Buy'.

    I have one. Very light but about as comfortable as a cheese grater. If you are a baldy git like me, you can look forward to coming home from spins with a nice wavy pattern imprinted on your bonce. You get used to it though;)

    Edit - they're pretty ugly too

    Most of those posts were explanitory (for the benefit of those who hadn't fully read the previous posts, I guess) but the thread will still be here when the Garmin offer is no longer available. It is likely that now and then a particular bargain will dominate the thread. Why not post up some other bargain alert yourself to distract from the aforementioned Garmin one?

    Well said!! I put up the Vacansoleil offer!!:)

    I also still think if you ring Evans, they MAY still pricematch!!;)

    I also got my Edge 500 in Black:D

    Swore i wouldn't look at this thread cos i just knew i'd end up buying something sooner or later.

    I did pretty well for a few days but curiosity got the better of me and now i've just ordered a Giro Prolight helmet from planet x.

    So damn this thread but thank you ednwireland for bringing this bargain to my attention ;)

    If anyone does want to buy a Garmin edge 500, I have a code that will get it for you for £97 from Evans cycles. It has to be used by 13:00 today though.

    Hehe. That's pretty reasonable to be fair. They should only be expected to compete on a like-for-like basis. You couldn't expect a bike shop to compete with a non-bike retailer who order in 50 times the amount of stock they do.

    Evans are only happy to price match when they have the advantage over smaller cycling shops of ordering 50 times the stock? :rolleyes:
