Take your e-mail down before you become the new SPAMBOT play thing, bad idea to type it out like that.

Beaten to it

Joxer_S · 07-09-2011 8:37pm

Was it £19.99 previously? I thought £29.99 was good!

Yep. They've doubled the price of their titanium skewers also.

Lemag · 09-09-2011 11:52am

Not a bargain per se but Ribble have the generally very well regarded Pro-Lite Bracciano wheels back in. £255.99

wanderer 22 · 10-09-2011 10:27am

Bike + wheel travel bag for €55 on CRC. Looks like pretty good value

Shipping to UK only?

EDIT: Aha, found link for shipping to Ireland :-)

Super Freak · 11-09-2011 10:54pm

Very similar to the original buff. A fraction of the price €7.99 I picked up a few of these about a month ago and I noticed today that my local branch has more in stock now.

If you like buffs you will like these.

Edit: that's €7.99 for the triple pack.

It'd be nearly worth the petrol.

I'd PM BikerBhoy, he should know for certain.

Anyone else notice how much their prices jump when you change it to euros. £99 = €123

No VAT on Helmets in the UK, VAT is applied in Ireland. So when you select delivery to Ireland, VAT is applied.

Dr.Millah · 12-09-2011 9:24pm

Took delivery of the Sky Gilet today, nice piece of kit for 25 quid!

i always let visa do the exchange rate (ie send to Ireland but charge in sterling), not ahuge saving but normally a couple of euro.

Without having read their T&C, I'd guess that it's just an estimate with all customers actually charged in sterling. I could be wrong.

Not in this case though. The Irish VAT at 21% would add considerable more. Planet X haven't started to charge Irish customers Irish VAT rates yet. My guess is that it's just a crappy exchange rate estimate on the Planet X site.

Hail 2 Da Thief · 12-09-2011 11:18pm

Speaking of Planet X, can anyone tell me what their Merino base-layers are like? Badly need good base layers!

maloner · 13-09-2011 11:15am

Biemme bit tights for €50.

This deal is for today only apparently, but they close at 6 so I doubt I'd get out there. Any one got these or similar and have any recommendations?

Icyseanfitz · 13-09-2011 5:54pm

good halfords bargain at the moment, 20% of carrera bikes if ordered online

The are okay but not great, they are worth £20 but not much more. Have mine a few weeks, but it's already losing it's shape and becoming stretched at the cuffs. It's no quite as long in the back as I'd like.

I've a few Icebreaker and Ortovox merino base layers that are in better condition after a few years use than the On One after a few weeks. But they were X3 or X4 times the price. Better value in the long run though.

Carrera TDF Limited Edition Road Bike for €327.99 is a pretty good bargain alright. I saw one in Halfords recently, picked it up and twas quite light so must be good :pac:
I still convinced my friend who was buying a bike at the time to go for the Boardman Team Carbon tho. :cool:
